Chairman’s Statement In January, the Group has embarked on a strategic reorganisation to better reflect the underlying value of its core businesses and to realise maximum business synergies. The reorganisation will provide greater transparency and investment flexibility for shareholders and investors and together with the Group’s solid financial profile, favourably position the Group for new business opportunities and future long term business development. The proposed merger and reorganisation of the Group and Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited (“Cheung Kong”)’s businesses into two new Hong Kong-listed entities, CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, holding all of the non-property businesses of the two groups and Cheung Kong Property Holdings Limited, combining the property businesses of the two groups, is expected to create significant value for our shareholders. Completion of this proposal is conditional on obtaining shareholders and regulatory approvals and fulfilment of all conditions precedent. Further details on the timetable and shareholders approval process will be provided in due course. Results 2014 was a year of significant activity and solid financial performance for the Group. Some of our businesses encountered increasing headwinds in the second half of 2014 with increased currency volatility, slow property market in Mainland China and a sharp plunge in crude oil prices. Nevertheless, our businesses overall still achieved solid performances and demonstrated strong resilience. The Group’s recurring profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year, before property revaluation gains and profits on disposal of investments and others, was HK$32,008 million, a 3% increase from HK$31,028 million in 2013. Recurring earnings per share increased by 3% to HK$7.51 from HK$7.28 in 2013. Profits on disposal of investments and others, after tax in 2014 of HK$10,048 million comprise the Group’s share of the gain arising from Power Assets Holdings Limited (“Power Assets”)’s separate listing of its Hong Kong electricity business of HK$16,066 million, as well as the marked-to-market gain of HK$1,748 million on Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings Limited (“CKI”)’s investment in Australian Gas Networks Limited (“AGN”) (formerly known as Envestra Limited) realised upon the disposal of its interest in AGN to a joint venture with Cheung Kong and Power Assets on the AGN acquisition. These profits were partly offset by:

- provisions relating to the restructuring of 3 Ireland on acquisition of O2 Ireland amounting to HK$3,388 million;

- Hutchison Telecommunications (Australia) (“HTAL”)’s 50% share of Vodafone Hutchison Australia (“VHA”) operating losses of HK$1,732 million;

- the Group’s share of Husky Energy’s impairment charge on certain crude oil and natural gas assets of HK$1,413 million;

- provisions of HK$652 million on the impairment of goodwill and store closure of the Marionnaud businesses to exit Poland and downsize operations in Portugal and Spain; and

- impairment charges on certain ports assets and related provisions of HK$581 million. This compares to a reported profits on disposal of investments and others, after tax of HK$52 million in 2013.


Investment property revaluation after tax for the year was HK$25,100 million as compared to HK$32 million for 2013. Profit attributable to ordinary shareholders reported for the year was HK$67,156 million, a 116% increase compared to HK$31,112 million for 2013, after the property revaluation and one-time items mentioned above. Dividends The Board declares the payment of a second interim dividend in lieu of a final dividend of HK$1.755 per share (2013 final dividend – HK$1.700 per share) payable on 15 April 2015 to those persons registered as shareholders of the Company on 17 March 2015, being the record date for determining the shareholders’ entitlement to the second interim dividend. Combined with the first interim dividend of HK$0.66 per share (2013 interim dividend – HK$0.60 per share), the full year dividend (excluding the special dividend of HK$7.00 per share that was paid in May 2014) amounts to HK$2.415 per share (2013 – HK$2.300 per share). Ports and Related Services The ports and related services division’s throughput grew 6% to 82.9 million twenty-foot equivalent units (“TEU”) in 2014. Total revenue of HK$35,624 million was 4% higher than last year primarily driven by throughput growth, particularly in Europe and Mainland China. This increase, combined with tighter control over operating costs, resulted in the division reporting EBITDA and EBIT of HK$12,133 million and HK$7,944 million respectively, which were 6% and 8% higher than last year respectively. The division had 282 berths at the end of the year, a net increase of four berths from 2013. Six new berths, comprising one in Brisbane, Australia, two in Westports, Malaysia and three in Sohar, Oman, commenced operations during 2014. Two berths of the old terminal in Oman ceased operations and will be returned to the Port Authority after the full migration of the operations to the new 3-berth terminal at Sohar. The division is targeting to add and commence operations at five new berths in 2015 including two additional new berths at Dammam, Saudi Arabia; two additional new berths at Barcelona, Spain; and an additional berth at Felixstowe in the UK. Continuing economic growth in the United States, and sluggish growth in Europe, combined with the Mainland’s expected stable growth will provide a reasonable outlook for the sector in 2015. The division will continue to focus on productivity gains, cost efficiency and selective acquisition and development opportunities to achieve earnings growth. Property and Hotels The property and hotels division reported total revenue of HK$16,069 million, a 34% decrease compared to 2013, primarily due to lower development sales and deferrals in the completion of various development projects in the Mainland to 2015. The division’s 11.8 million square foot portfolio of rental properties in Hong Kong, together with our attributable share of 1.5 million square foot portfolio in the Mainland and overseas, reported solid occupancy and steady rental growth. Reported rental income improved 6% to HK$4,532 million from last year primarily due to higher rental renewal rates.


The division’s hotel portfolio comprises 11 hotels with over 8,500 rooms, in which the Group has an average effective interest of approximately 63%, generated EBIT of HK$1,061 million, an increase of 2% compared to 2013. Several Mainland cities in which the Group operates continue to experience aggressive discounting throughout the year as a result of mounting liquidity constraints in the industry. The division has maintained its pricing strategy in these markets to ensure delivery of a healthy margin return from its premium developments. This resulted in the number of contracted sales in the Mainland to reduce from 6.4 million square feet of attributable GFA or 8,819 residential units in 2013 to 3.6 million square feet of attributable GFA or 4,835 residential units in 2014. The lower sales volume has led to a reduction of attributable revenue and EBIT from the Mainland of HK$8,572 million and HK$3,707 million respectively. As a result, EBITDA and EBIT of this division both decreased 29% to HK$9,998 million and HK$9,661 million respectively, mainly due to the lower sales during the year as mentioned above, partly offset by growth in the recurring rental income base. Retail The retail division, with over 11,400 stores in 24 markets, delivered another year of strong revenue, cash generation and earnings growth in 2014. Total revenue of HK$157,397 million, EBITDA of HK$15,549 million and EBIT of HK$13,023 million, were 6%, 10% and 11% higher respectively than last year. The division reported like-for-like sales growth of 2.3%, with 1.4% in Asia and 3.0% in Europe in 2014. The health and beauty segment overall reported strong sales growth of 8% for 2014 with 9% in Asia and 6% in Europe, but this was partly offset by the negative sales performance of the other retail businesses in Hong Kong. Health and beauty operations in the Mainland grew total revenue by 14% mainly driven by high quality new store openings as well as strong comparable store sales growth of 3.9% in 2014. This business unit has the highest profit growth within the retail division as a whole. EBITDA and EBIT both grew by 17% in 2014. With strong brand name recognition and extensive geographical coverage, the health and beauty operations in Asia (excluding operations in Mainland) reported EBITDA and EBIT growth of 5%. This was driven by a comparable store sales growth of 4.6% and a 4% increase in portfolio of stores compared to 2013. Health and beauty operations in Europe overall delivered strong earnings contribution with EBITDA and EBIT growth of 11% and 13% respectively, through a 6% increase in the portfolio of stores compared to 2013, comparable store sales growth of 3.0% as mentioned above and effective cost control measures. The division added 854 stores on a net basis in 2014 and is targeting to further expand organically and plans to add around 1,300 stores on a gross basis and around 1,000 stores on a net basis in 2015. The division will continue to place primary focus on the Health and Beauty segment which generated an average new store payback of less than 10 months and to expand in high growth markets such as the Mainland and certain Asian countries, but also expanding selectively in Europe. In April 2014, the Group entered into a strategic alliance with Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (“Temasek”) with Temasek acquiring a 24.95% equity interest in A S Watson Holdings Limited for approximately HK$44 billion, resulting in an increase of approximately HK$39 billion in the Group’s shareholders’ funds.


The net proceeds from the strategic alliance with Temasek of approximately HK$43 billion were partly used for a special dividend distribution of HK$7.00 per share, amounting to approximately HK$30 billion, in the first half of 2014. The net impact of this transaction, after the distribution of the special dividend, resulted in an increase of shareholders’ funds of HK$9 billion. Cheung Kong Infrastructure Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings Limited (“CKI”), our Hong Kong listed subsidiary, announced profit attributable to shareholders of HK$31,782 million, a growth of 173% compared to 2013, primarily due to its share of the gain, after consolidation adjustments, arising from Power Assets (CKI’s 38.87%-owned associated company) separately listing its Hong Kong electricity business on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in January 2014. The improvement in CKI’s earnings has also been driven by the strong performance of its underlying operations, the full-year profit contribution from the businesses acquired in 2013 including Enviro Waste Services Limited, an integrated waste management business in New Zealand, and AVR-Afvalverwerking BV, the largest “energy-from-waste” business in the Netherlands, together with the accretive income from businesses acquired during 2014 as mentioned below. In July 2014, a CKI-led joint-venture with Cheung Kong completed the acquisition of Park’N Fly, the largest off-airport car park business in Canada for approximately C$381 million (approximately HK$2,720 million). In October 2014, a CKI-led joint-venture with Cheung Kong and Power Assets completed its takeover bid for AGN, a distributor of natural gas in Australia, for a cash consideration of A$1.32 per share. CKI, together with Power Assets currently owns approximately 72.5% of AGN. The marked-to-market gain of HK$1,748 million on the disposal of CKI’s 17.46% investment in AGN to the joint venture is reported under “profits on disposal of investments and others, after tax”. In January 2015, a CKI-led joint-venture with Cheung Kong entered into an agreement to acquire Eversholt Rail Group (“Eversholt”) in the UK. Eversholt is a major rolling stock operating company in the UK, leasing a diverse range of rolling stock to train operators including regional, commuter and high-speed passenger trains, as well as freight locomotives and wagons, on long-term contracts. The acquisition has an enterprise value of approximately £2,500 million (approximately HK$29,300 million) and is expected to complete around April 2015. In January 2015, CKI completed a share placement and share subscription transaction and resulted in the Group’s interest in CKI reducing from 78.16% to 75.67%. Husky Energy Husky Energy, our associated company listed in Canada, announced profit from operations attributable to shareholders of C$1,258 million, a 31% decrease from last year. Excluding the after tax impairment charges of C$622 million and C$204 million on certain crude oil and natural gas assets in 2014 and 2013 respectively, profit from operations attributable to shareholders of C$1,880 million is 8% below last year as the exceptionally sharp decline of crude oil prices in the last quarter of 2014 fully offsets the better performances reported in the first half and the higher production in the year.


Average production increased 9% from 312,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEs per day”) in 2013 to 340,100 BOEs per day in 2014, reflecting increased volumes from the Liwan Gas Project which came on-stream during the year and continued strong production from the new heavy oil thermal developments. Production at the Liwan 3-1 gas field started in March 2014 and the Liuhua 34-2 field was brought online in December 2014. For Oil Sands development, the first phase of the Sunrise Energy Project in northeast Alberta in Canada is expected to begin production towards the end of the first quarter of 2015. In the current challenging market conditions, Husky Energy is committed to prudent capital management and to maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity. Operationally, the division will deliver a steady production from sustainable low capital cost projects and will stage its mid to longer-term projects to manage risk. 3 Group Europe The Group’s active customer base in Europe increased 13% during the year and totals over 25.0 million customers. 3 Group Europe reported total revenue of HK$65,623 million, a 6% increase over last year. EBITDA and EBIT grew by 23% and 42% to HK$15,598 million and HK$6,892 million respectively, reflecting the improved net customer service margin, well-disciplined operating cost structures and continued realisation of post-merger cost synergies in Austria and Ireland. With the exception of Italy, all operations in 3 Group Europe increased their contributions to the Group’s earnings during the year. On 15 July 2014, the Group completed the acquisition of O2 Ireland for €780 million with an additional deferred payment of €70 million payable upon achievement of certain agreed financial targets. In January 2015, the Group agreed to enter into exclusive negotiations with Telefónica SA for the potential acquisition of O2 UK, for an indicative price of £9.25 billion cash and deferred upside interest sharing payments of up to £1 billion upon achievement by the combined business of 3 UK and O2 UK of agreed financial targets. The Group will continue to explore growth opportunities through potential consolidation in markets which the Group currently operates in, enhancing network capabilities and maintaining operational efficiencies across all operations. Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings (“HTHKH”), our Hong Kong listed telecommunications subsidiary operating in Hong Kong and in Macau, had an active mobile customer base of approximately 3.2 million as at 31 December 2014. This is a decrease of 15% over last year following the operation’s strategy in maintaining a high value customer base. The announced profit attributable to shareholders of HK$833 million and earnings per share of 17.3 HK cents, were 9% lower than last year. The mobile business experienced keen price competition in the first half of 2014. With the Hong Kong mobile market consolidated to a four-player market during the year, the intense pricing pressure has gradually eased and the performance for the second half of 2014 is a 58% improvement against the first half of 2014 and 48% improvement against the second half of 2013. The operation is expecting an improved performance in 2015.


Hutchison Asia Telecommunications As of 31 December 2014, Hutchison Asia Telecommunications (“HAT”) had an active customer base of approximately 54.5 million, representing a 25% increase from 2013. Although HAT increased its customer base during the year, total revenue decreased 9% to HK$5,757 million and LBITDA and LBIT of HK$278 million and HK$1,465 million respectively were adverse compared to last year. The poor performance and the change from a positive EBITDA of HK$502 million reported for the first half to a LBITDA for the second half of HK$780 million and HK$278 million for the full year, were mainly due to charges in the year of approximately HK$1.1 billion relating to inappropriate dealer credit and commissioning practices in the Indonesian operation. Senior management of the Indonesian operation has been replaced and strengthened internal controls put in place to prevent any recurrence, and for the business to remain on a strong growth footing. Finance & Investments and Others Contribution from this segment represents returns earned on the Group’s holdings of cash and liquid investments as well as results of other small operating units. During 2014, the Group raised HK$77,895 million from the debt market and HK$43,696 million from the strategic alliance with Temasek, and repaid debts as they matured and early repaid certain long-term borrowings and notes of HK$44,860 million. The Group’s weighted average cost of debt for the year remained flat at 3.1% from 31 December 2013. At 31 December 2014, the Group’s consolidated cash and liquid investments totalled HK$140,459 million and consolidated debt amounted to HK$246,867 million, resulting in consolidated net debt of HK$106,408 million and net debt to net total capital ratio of 16.8%. The Group will continue to closely monitor its liquidity and debt profile and to ensure that appropriate capital structure is in place for future investment and expansion opportunities. As a result, the Group expects its consolidated Group net debt to net total capital ratio to remain less than 25% for the foreseeable future.


Outlook Looking ahead to 2015, the Central Government will continue to broaden and deepen its reforms, enhancing economic growth and improving livelihood in the Mainland and at the same time driving global economic development. The Mainland is expected to continue to pursue proactive fiscal and prudent monetary policies, with a view of maintaining steady economic growth so as to achieve sustainable development. The United States is showing signs of good economic progress. Growth in Europe is expected to remain sluggish in the near term but the fall in the Euro against other major currencies is expected to increase Europe's competitiveness and to benefit its economic development in the long term. The Group with its globally diversified portfolio is positioned to continue to strengthen its market leading position in all of its core businesses. Looking forward, we will adhere to our principle of “Advancing with Stability” and make prudent investment decisions based on the long-term interests of our shareholders. Barring unforeseen material adverse external developments and after taking into consideration the current oil price, I expect that we will continue to meet these objectives and achieve a solid performance in 2015. I have full confidence in our prospects. I would like to thank the Board of Directors and all our dedicated employees around the world for their continued loyalty, diligence, professionalism and contributions to the Group.

Notes

1 Basis of preparation

The financial information is extracted from the Group’s audited accounts which have been prepared in accordance with Hong

Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain properties and financial instruments

which are stated at fair values.

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the

HKICPA that are relevant to the Group’s operations and mandatory for annual periods beginning 1 January 2014. The effect of

the adoption of these new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations was not material to the Group’s results of

operations or financial position.

The accounts also comply with the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, which for this financial year

and the comparative period continue to be those of the predecessor Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32), in accordance

with transitional and saving arrangements for Part 9 of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), “Accounts and

Audit”, which are set out in sections 76 to 87 of Schedule 11 to that Ordinance.

2 Operating segment information

Save as disclosed in the notes below, the column headed as Company and Subsidiaries refers to the Company and subsidiary

companies’ respective items and the column headed as Associates and JV refers to the Group’s share of associated companies and

joint ventures’ respective items, and segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the board of

directors of the Company who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

VHA is undergoing a shareholder-sponsored restructuring under the leadership of the other shareholder under the applicable terms

of the shareholders’ agreement. In order to assist in providing a meaningful analysis of the ongoing operating activities, HTAL’s

share of VHA’s results are presented as separate items within the income statement line item titled profits on disposal of

investments and others (see note 3(e)) to separately identify them from the Group's recurring earnings profile during this phase.

Whampoa (China), Hutchison E-Commerce and corporate head office operations, the Marionnaud business, listed subsidiary

Hutchison China MediTech, listed subsidiary Hutchison Harbour Ring , which was disposed in the year, and listed associate Tom

Trade and other receivables are stated at the expected recoverable amount, net of any estimated impairment losses for bad

debts where it is deemed that a receivable may not be fully recoverable. The carrying amount of these assets approximates

their fair value.

Trade receivables exposures are managed locally in the operating units where they arise and credit limits are set as deemed

appropriate for the customer. The Group has established credit policies for customers in each of its core businesses. The

average credit period granted for trade receivables ranges from 30 to 45 days. As stated above trade receivables which are

past due at the end of the reporting period are stated at the expected recoverable amount, net of provision for estimated

impairment losses for bad debts. Given the profile of our customers and the Group’s different types of businesses, the

Group generally does not hold collateral over these balances.

(c) Purchase of subsidiary companies

On 14 July 2014, the Group has completed its acquisition of the O2 Ireland business in Ireland. As a result of the acquisition,

the Group has increased its market share of the Irish mobile telecommunications services. The Group expects synergies and

other benefits from combining the infrastructure and operations of O2 Ireland with 3 Ireland, and costs savings through

economies of scale.

The following table summarises the consideration paid for O2 Ireland and other acquisitions completed in the current year, and

the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognised at the respective acquisition date.

Group Capital Resources and Liquidity

Hutchison Whampoa Limited86 Modified at: 2015-02-24 16:15

Treasury Management

The Group’s treasury function sets financial risk management policies in accordance with policies and procedures that are approved by the Executive Directors, and which are also subject to periodic review by the Group’s internal audit function. The Group’s treasury policies are designed to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates on the Group’s overall financial position and to minimise the Group’s financial risks. The Group’s treasury function operates as a centralised service for managing financial risks, including interest rate and foreign exchange risks, and for providing cost-efficient funding to the Group and its companies. It manages the majority of the Group’s funding needs, interest rate, foreign currency and credit risk exposures. It is the Group’s policy not to have credit rating triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of the Group’s borrowings. The Group uses interest rate and foreign currency swaps and forward contracts as appropriate for risk management purposes only, for hedging transactions and for managing the Group’s assets and liabilities. It is the Group’s policy not to enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. It is also the Group’s policy not to invest liquidity in financial products, including hedge funds or similar vehicles, with significant underlying leverage or derivative exposure.

Cash Management and Funding

The Group operates a central cash management system for all of its unlisted subsidiaries. Except for listed and certain overseas entities conducting businesses in non-HK or non-US dollar currencies, the Group generally obtains long-term financing at the Group level to on-lend or contribute as equity to its subsidiaries and associated companies to meet their funding requirements and provide more cost-efficient financing. These borrowings include a range of capital market issues and bank borrowings for which the proportions will change depending upon financial market conditions and projected interest rates. The Group regularly and closely monitors its overall debt position and reviews its funding costs and maturity profile to facilitate refinancing.

Interest Rate Exposure

The Group manages its interest rate exposure with a focus on reducing the Group’s overall cost of debt and exposure to changes in interest rates. When considered appropriate, the Group uses derivatives such as interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements to manage its interest rate exposure. The Group’s main interest rate exposure relates to US dollar, British Pound, Euro and HK dollar borrowings.

At 31 December 2014, approximately 26% of the Group’s total principal amount of bank and other debts were at floating rates and the remaining 74% were at fixed rates. The Group has entered into various interest rate agreements with major financial institution counterparties to swap approximately HK$64,793 million principal amount of fixed interest rate borrowings to effectively become floating interest rate borrowings. In addition, HK$5,995 million principal amount of floating interest rate borrowings were swapped to fixed interest rate borrowings. After taking into consideration these interest rate swaps, approximately 50% of the Group’s total principal amount of bank and other debts were at floating rates and the remaining 50% were at fixed rates at 31 December 2014. All of the aforementioned interest rate derivatives are designated as hedges and these hedges are considered highly effective.

Foreign Currency Exposure

For overseas subsidiaries, associated companies and other investments, which consist of non-HK dollar or non-US dollar assets, the Group generally endeavours to establish a natural hedge for debt financing with an appropriate level of borrowings in those same currencies. For overseas businesses that are in the development phase, or where borrowings in local currency are not or are no longer attractive, the Group may not borrow in the local currency or may repay existing borrowings and monitor the development of the businesses’ cashflow and the relevant debt markets with a view to refinance these businesses with local currency borrowings in the future when conditions are more appropriate. Exposure to movements in exchange rates for individual transactions (such as major procurement contracts) directly related to the underlying businesses is minimised by using forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps where active markets for the relevant currencies exist. The Group generally does not enter into foreign currency hedges in respect of its long-term equity investments in overseas subsidiaries and associated companies. During the year, the currencies of certain countries where the Group has overseas operations, including Euro, British Pound, the Canadian and Australian dollars as well as Renminbi in the Mainland, fluctuated against the Hong Kong dollar. This gave rise to an unrealised loss of approximately HK$23,998 million (2013: loss of HK$5,130 million) on translation of these operations’ net assets to the Group’s Hong Kong dollar reporting currency, including the Group’s share of the translation gains and losses of associated companies and joint ventures. This unrealised loss is reflected as a movement in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity under the heading of Other Reserves.

At 31 December 2014, the Group had currency swap arrangements with banks to swap US dollar principal amount of borrowings equivalent to HK$16,968 million to Hong Kong dollar principal amount of borrowings to match the currency exposures of the underlying businesses. The Group’s total principal amount of bank and other debts, after the above swaps, are denominated as follows: 41% in US dollars, 34% in Euro, 13% in HK dollars, 6% in British Pounds and 6% in other currencies.

Credit Exposure

The Group’s holdings of cash, managed funds and other liquid investments, and interest rate and foreign currency swaps and forward contracts with financial institutions expose the Group to credit risk of counterparties. The Group controls its credit risk to non-performance by its counterparties through monitoring their equity share price movements and credit ratings as well as setting approved counterparty credit limits that are regularly reviewed.


The Group is also exposed to counterparties credit risk from its operating activities, which is continuously monitored by the local operational management.

Credit Profile

The Group aims to maintain a capital structure that is appropriate for long-term investment grade ratings of A3 on the Moody’s Investor Service scale, A- on the Standard & Poor’s Rating Services scale and A- on the Fitch Ratings scale. Actual credit ratings may depart from these levels from time to time due to economic circumstances. At 31 December 2014, our long-term credit ratings were A3 from Moody’s, A- from Standard & Poor’s and A- from Fitch, with all three agencies maintaining stable outlooks on the Group’s ratings.

Market Price Risk

The Group’s main market price risk exposures relate to listed/traded debt and equity securities described in “Liquid Assets” below and the interest rate swaps as described in “Interest Rate Exposure” above. The Group’s holding of listed/traded debt and equity securities represented approximately 11% (2013: approximately 16%) of the cash, liquid funds and other listed investments (“liquid assets”). The Group controls this risk through active monitoring of price movements and changes in market conditions that may have an impact on the value of these financial assets and instruments.

Liquid Assets

The Group continues to maintain a strong financial position. Liquid assets amounted to HK$140,459 million at 31 December 2014, an increase of 37% from the balance of HK$102,787 million at 31 December 2013, mainly reflecting net cash proceeds of HK$13,853 million, after special dividend of HK$7.00 per share amounting to HK$29,843 million, from Temasek’s acquisition of a 24.95% equity interest in A S Watson Holdings Limited during the year, the cash raised from debt capital market of HK$42,030 million, the cash arising from positive funds from operations from the Group’s businesses and cash from new borrowings, net of utilisation of cash for dividend payments to ordinary and non-controlling shareholders as well as distributions to perpetual capital securities holders, the repayment and early repayment of certain borrowings, the acquisition of O2 Ireland of HK$8,325 million, purchase of additional interest of 27.51% in the Australian Gas Networks Limited (“AGN”) by listed subsidiary, CKI, of HK$4,705 million, the redemption of perpetual capital securities issued in 2012 of US$300 million (approximately HK$2,340 million) by listed subsidiary, CKI, advances to property joint ventures, and the acquisition of fixed assets. Liquid assets were denominated as to 16% in HK dollars, 46% in US dollars, 9% in Renminbi, 15% in Euro, 6% in British Pounds and 8% in other currencies.

Cash and cash equivalents represented 89% (2013: 84%) of the liquid assets, US Treasury notes and listed/traded debt securities 6% (2013: 8%) and listed equity securities 5% (2013: 8%).

The US Treasury notes and listed/traded debt securities, including those held under managed funds, consisted of US Treasury notes of 46%, government and government guaranteed notes of 20%, notes issued by the Group’s associated company, Husky Energy of 3%, notes issued by financial institutions of 3%, and others of 28%. Of these US Treasury notes and listed/traded debt securities, 66% are rated at Aaa/AAA or Aa1/AA+ with an average maturity of 3.0 years on the overall portfolio. The Group has no exposure in mortgage-backed securities, collateralised debt obligations or similar asset classes.

Cash Flow

Reported EBITDA (1) amounted to HK$98,873 million, an increase of 3% compared to HK$95,647 million for last year. Consolidated funds from operations (“FFO”) before cash profits from disposals, capital expenditures, investments and changes in working capital amounts to HK$50,836 million, a 3% increase compared to last year mainly due to higher EBITDA contributions by the Group’s subsidiaries, in particular 3 Group Europe, partly offset by the decrease in distributions received from property joint ventures.

The Group’s capital expenditures decreased 29% to total HK$21,559 million during 2014 (2013: HK$30,493 million), primarily due to lower capital expenditures for the acquisition of telecommunications licences which totalled HK$41 million, which represented ancillary cost and interest capitalised on licences acquired in prior years (2013: HK$6,828 million) and lower capital expenditures for the acquisition of fixed assets, particularly for the ports division. Capital expenditures on fixed assets for the ports and related services division amounted to HK$3,943 million (2013: HK$7,060 million); for the property and hotels division HK$152 million (2013: HK$535 million); for the retail division HK$2,449 million (2013: HK$2,264 million); for CKI HK$292 million (2013: HK$406 million); for 3 Group Europe HK$11,144 million (2013: HK$10,116 million); for HTHKH HK$1,174 million (2013: HK$1,239 million); for HAT HK$1,906 million (2013: HK$1,621 million); and for the finance and investments and others segment HK$229 million (2013: HK$319 million). Capital expenditures for licences, brand names and other rights were HK$48 million (2013: HK$11 million) for the ports and related services division; for CKI HK$13 million (2013: HK$11 million); for 3 Group Europe HK$165 million (2013: HK$6,884 million); for HTHKH HK$43 million (2013: HK$27 million); and for HAT HK$1 million (2013: Nil).

In addition, during the year, the Group have spent HK$8,467 million on the acquisition of new investments which included the acquisition of O2 Ireland for HK$8,325 million.

Purchases of and advances to (net of deposits from) associated companies and joint ventures, net of repayments from associated companies and joint ventures, resulted in a net cash outflow of HK$10,040 million (2013: HK$5,287 million). This is mainly due to the additional interest acquired in AGN by CKI for HK$4,705 million, lower repayments from associated companies and joint ventures together with higher advances to property joint ventures in the year, which reflects the tightening of monetary policies in the Mainland resulting in the need for short-term cash retention by property joint ventures for construction purposes.

Furthermore, during the year, the Group have recognised proceeds totalling HK$5,957 million (2013: HK$5,155 million) from the disposal of the Group’s interests in certain subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures.

The capital expenditures and investments of the Group are primarily funded by cash generated from operations, cash on hand and to the extent appropriate, by external borrowings.

For further information of the Group’s capital expenditures by divisions and cashflow, please see Note 5(e) and the “Consolidated Statement of Cashflows” section of this Annual Report.

Note 1: Reported EBITDA excludes the non-controlling interests’ share of HPH Trust’s EBITDA and profits on disposals of investments and others.


Debt Maturity and Currency Profile

The Group’s total principal amount of bank and other debts at 31 December 2014 increased 10% to total HK$246,867 million (2013: HK$223,822 million), of which 75% (2013: 70%) are notes and bonds and 25% (2013: 30%) are bank and other loans. The net increase in principal amount of bank and other debts was primarily due to new borrowings of HK$77,895 million, which included HK$42,030 million raised from the debt capital market, partially offset by the favourable impact of HK$11,800 million upon translation of foreign currency-denominated loans to Hong Kong dollars, the repayment of debts as they matured and the early repayment of certain debts totalling HK$44,860 million. The Group’s weighted average cost of debt for the year ended 31 December 2014 remained flat at 3.1% compared to last year. Interest bearing loans from non-controlling shareholders, which are viewed as quasi-equity, totalled HK$8,000 million at 31 December 2014 (2013: HK$5,445 million).

Capital, Net Debt and Interest Coverage Ratios

The Group’s total ordinary shareholders’ funds and perpetual capital securities increased 9% to HK$466,218 million at 31 December 2014, compared to HK$426,609 million at 31 December 2013, reflecting the profits for 2014, an increase of HK$39,026 million in relation to Temasek’s acquisition of a 24.95% equity interest in A S Watson Holdings Limited, as well as, an increase of HK$25,100 million arising from the investment property revaluation gain recognised during the year, partly offset by the net exchange losses on translation of the Group’s overseas operations’ net assets to the Group’s Hong Kong dollar reporting currency including the Group’s share of the translation gains and losses of associated companies and joint ventures, a special dividend of HK$29,843 million paid following Temasek’s acquisition, 2013 final and 2014 interim dividends and distributions paid and other items recognised directly in reserves. At 31 December 2014, the consolidated net debt of the Group, excluding interest bearing loans from non-controlling shareholders which are viewed as quasi-equity, unamortised loan facilities fees and premiums or discounts on issue and fair value changes of interest rate swap contracts, was HK$106,408 million (2013: HK$121,035 million), a 12% reduction compared to the net debt at the beginning of the year. The Group’s net debt to net total capital ratio at 31 December 2014 reduced to 16.8% (2013: 20%).

The following table shows the net debt to net total capital ratio calculated on the basis of including interest bearing loans from non-controlling shareholders and also with the Group’s investments in its listed subsidiaries and associated companies marked to market value at 31 December 2014. The net debt to net total capital ratio can be significantly affected by foreign currency translation effects on total ordinary shareholders’ funds, perpetual capital securities and debt balances. The ratios as at 31 December 2014 before and after the effect of foreign currency translation and other non-cash movements for the year are shown below:

The Group’s consolidated gross interest expenses and other finance costs of subsidiaries, before capitalisation, decreased 5% in 2014 to total HK$8,153 million, compared to HK$8,564 million in 2013, mainly due to lower average borrowings during the year.

Reported EBITDA of HK$98,873 million and FFO of HK$50,836 million for the year covered consolidated net interest expenses and other finance costs 20.4 times and 11.7 times respectively (31 December 2013: 17.5 times and 10.2 times).

Throughput increased 6% to 82.9 million TEU in 2014 when compared to last year, reflectinggenerally stable recovery in all key markets of this division except for Mexico and Indonesia whichexperienced keen competition in the year.

EBITDA was up 6% against last year due to the strong performances of all segments, particularly inEurope, partly offset by lower contribution from Indonesia, the start-up losses of the Australianports, as well as a lower share of EBITDA in Malaysia as the Group’s share of results decreased from31.45% to 23.55% subsequent to the IPO of Westports Holdings Bhd. in October 2013.

EBIT increased by 8% in 2014. The growth in EBIT was higher relative to the increase in EBITDA dueto the lower increase in depreciation charges as 2013 includes accelerated depreciation chargesagainst certain assets at London Thamesport.

282 operating berths at the end of 2014, a net increase of 4 operating berths. In 2014, 6 newberths commenced operations, with the opening of additional berths in Brisbane, Australia (1),Westports, Malaysia (2) and Sohar, Oman (3). The 2 berths of the old terminal in Oman ceasedoperations and will be returned to the Port Authority after the full migration of the operations tothe new 3-berth terminal.

In March 2014, HPH Trust divested 60% of its equity interest in Asia Container Terminals (“ACT HK”)to the newly established joint venture with COSCO Pacific (40%) and China Shipping Group (20%).HPH Trust currently owns an effective interest of 40% in ACT HK.

Property and HotelsDevelopment Activities Attributable landbank of approximately 78 million sq.ft., comprising 38 projects

in 21 cities, of which approximately 76 million sq.ft. is in the Mainland. Averageland cost of attributable landbank in the Mainland is approximately RMB238 persq.ft. or HK$298 per sq.ft.

Average land cost relating to the recognised sale of residential properties in2014 in the Mainland is approximately HK$281 per sq.ft. Average constructioncost and average professional, marketing, funding and other costs areapproximately HK$529 per sq.ft. and HK$412 per sq.ft. respectively forresidential properties.

Completed an attributable share of GFA of approximately 4.7 million sq.ft. inresidential and commercial properties in the Mainland during 2014.

The overall gross margin(1) on commercial and residential development afterland appreciation tax (“LAT”) for the year was approximately 30%, an increasecompared to the 29% for last year.

The lower contribution of this segment in 2014 reflects the slower salesexperienced in the Mainland, particularly in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities whichrepresented approximately 75% of the division’s recognised sales in terms of GFAthat continue to experience aggressive discounting throughout the year as aresult of mounting liquidity constraints in the industry. Average selling price(“ASP”) from the recognised sales of residential property increased 5% toHK$1,715 per sq.ft. in 2014, reflecting the division’s pricing strategy to ensuredelivery of a healthy margin return from its premium developments.

In light of the weak property market, the division has strategically timed bothcompletion and new sales launches for certain projects pending an improvementin market sentiment.

Excluding the gain on disposal of the airport concession, Other Retail’s EBITDA decreased 20% to HK$1,546 million in 2014, mainly due to lower contributions fromPARKnSHOP operations as well as Fortress during the year due to keen competition and additionally for Fortress due to lack of new product launches.

In April 2014, the Group entered into a strategic alliance with Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (“Temasek”) with Temasek acquiring a 24.95% equity interest inA S Watson Holdings Limited for approximately HK$44 billion, resulting in an increase of approximately HK$39 billion in the Group’s shareholders’ funds. The netproceeds from this transaction were partly used for a special dividend distribution of HK$7.00 per share amounting to approximately HK$30 billion in May 2014.The net impact of this transaction, after the distribution of special dividend, resulted in an increase of shareholders’ funds of HK$9 billion.

Outlook Looking into 2015 and beyond, the Group will continue to expand its portfolio of retail stores, targeting to further expand organically and plans to add around

1,300 stores on a gross basis and around 1,000 stores on a net basis in 2015.

EBITDA of HK$15,549 million was 10% higher than last year. Before taking into account of the gain on disposal of the airportconcession operation in July 2014 and the foreign currency translation impact, underlying growth of EBITDA was 9% due tocomparable store sales growth of 2.3% and an 8% increase in number of stores to 11,435 stores as at end of 2014.

The H&B segment overall opened around 1,200 new stores during the year. New store payback of less than 10 months in2014 remains encouraging. The 9% increase in store numbers in 2014, together with a comparable store sales growth of 3.4%and an improved margin, resulted in a 12% growth in EBITDA (a 14% growth in local currency).

Total sales growth for H&B China remained strong at 14% with comparable store sales growth of 3.9% and a 23% increase innumber of stores compared to 2013. The EBITDA margin of H&B China remained at 20% in 2014.

Infrastructure11% of Group Revenue, 25% of Group EBITDA & 28% of Group EBIT

Cheung Kong Infrastructure (“CKI”)’s announced earnings for 2014 of HK$31,782 million, which includes its share ofgain from Power Assets’ separate listing of its Hong Kong electricity business in January 2014 and the marked-to-market gain on the AGN transaction.

Reported EBIT, after the Group’s asset valuation consolidation adjustments, was HK$18,215 million for 2014, a 4%increase when compared to 2013 mainly due to earnings growth from its UK operations and full-year contributionsof the operations acquired in 2013 (Enviro Waste and AVR), together with the accretive earnings of businesses thatwere acquired in 2014 as follows:

• In July 2014, a CKI-led joint venture with Cheung Kong completed the acquisition of Park’N Fly, the largest off-airport car park business in Canada for approximately C$381 million (approximately HK$2,720 million); and

• In October 2014, a CKI-led joint venture with Cheung Kong and Power Assets completed its takeover bid forAustralian Gas Networks Limited (“AGN”, formerly known as Envestra Limited), a distributor of natural gas inAustralia, for a cash consideration of A$1.32 per share. CKI, together with Power Assets, currently ownsapproximately 72.5% of AGN. The marked-to-market gain of HK$1,748 million on the disposal of CKI’s 17.46%investment in AGN to the joint venture is reported under “Profit on disposal of investments and others, after tax”.

The above is partially offset by the lower contribution from the Hong Kong electricity business following its separatelisting.

Outlook CKI will continue to grow existing operations organically and look for opportunities to expand its portfolio by

acquiring businesses with strong recurrent returns and to maintain its strong balance sheet with steady cashflow andlow gearing.

In January 2015, a CKI-led joint venture with Cheung Kong entered into an agreement to acquire Eversholt Rail Group(“Eversholt”), a major rolling stock operating company in the UK. The acquisition has an enterprise value ofapproximately £2,500 million (approximately HK$29,300 million) and is expected to complete around April 2015.

In January 2015, CKI completed a share placement and share subscription transaction and resulted in the Group’sinterest in CKI reducing from 78.16% to 75.67%.

Announced profit from operations attributable to shareholders for 2014 decreased31% to C$1,258 million. Excluding the after tax impairment charges of C$622million and C$204 million on certain crude oil and natural gas assets in 2014 and2013 respectively, net earnings decreased 8% to C$1,880 million in 2014.

In local currency, EBITDA increased 5% to C$6,019 million, mainly due to increasedcrude oil and natural gas production with new production from the Liwan GasProject and heavy oil thermal developments and higher average realised crude oiland natural gas prices; partially offset by lower refining margins and lower marginsin commodity marketing. However, EBIT (before impairment charges) decreased 6%to C$2,847 million mainly due to higher depreciation from increased production.

The Group’s share of EBITDA and EBIT after translation into Hong Kong dollars andconsolidation adjustments, but before the aforementioned impairment charges inboth years, decreased 2% and 12% respectively due to adverse foreign exchangemovement.

Average production increased 9% to 340.1 mboe/day in 2014, mainly due to thecommencement of natural gas production from the Liwan Gas Project; strongproduction performance from the heavy oil thermal developments (particularly theSandall development which began crude oil production in Q1-2014) and increasedproduction from the Ansell multi-zone liquids-rich natural gas resource play.

Telecommunications – HTHKH & HAT

HTHKH had a combined active mobile customer base of approximately 3.2 million in Hong Kong and Macau.

EBITDA and EBIT both improved by 1% from 2013. The growth in fixed line business is offset by the weaker performance of the mobile business.

The mobile business experienced keen price competition resulting in decreased net customer service revenue, partially compensated by higher hardware salesafter the launch of more popular handsets and tariff price increase in 2H 2014. The intense pricing pressure has gradually eased by the end of 2014 and theEBITDA and EBIT of HTHKH for the 2H 2014 were 26% and 57% improvement against 1H 2014 and 24% and 58% improvement against 2H 2013 respectively. Theoperation is expecting an improved performance in 2015.

The fixed line business continues to achieve steady growth through higher revenue generated from carrier as well as corporate and business segments with thecontinued focus on efficiency and cost management.

HAT had an active customer base of approximately 54.5 million with operations in Indonesia, Vietnam and Sri Lanka.

The adverse performances and change from a positive EBITDA of HK$502 million reported for 1H 2014 to a LBITDA for 2H 2014 of HK$780 million and HK$278million for the full year were mainly due to charges in the year of approximately HK$1.1 billion relating to inappropriate dealer credit and commissioningpractices in the Indonesian operation.

Senior management of the Indonesian operation has been replaced and strengthened internal controls put in place to prevent any recurrence, and for thebusiness to remain on a strong growth footing.

Telecommunications – HTAL , Share of VHA

HTAL owns 50% of VHA and announced a A$286 million loss attributable toshareholders in 2014, an increase of 24% as compared to last year, which includesaccelerated depreciation on certain network assets in light of the strategic plan tobuild an expanded and more resilient network. Excluding this one-off charge, theunderlying loss improved 7% compared to 2013.

Despite the reported losses, VHA achieved breakeven unlevered operating free cashflow before spectrum payments in 2014, reflecting improved working capital andcapex management. This encouraging achievement demonstrated VHAmanagement’s continued focus on turning the company around to profitability.

VHA’s customer base remained stable at approximately 5.3 million (includingMVNOs) at 31 December 2014, with customer growth in 2H 2014. With thecontinued geographic expansion of the network and an increased retail presenceacross Australia, VHA will build on and continue to grow its customer base.

VHA now has over 2,000 LTE sites switched on and its 4G coverage reaches 95% ofthe Australian metropolitan population.

VHA’s operating losses continue to be included as a P&L charge under “Others” ofthe Group’s profits on disposal of investments and others line as VHA continues withits shareholder sponsored restructuring under the leadership of Vodafone under theapplicable terms of our shareholders’ agreement since 2H 2012.

The Group reported total revenue, including the Group’s share of associated companies’ and joint ventures’ revenue, of HK$421,472 million, an increase of 2% compared to 2013. EBITDA and EBIT, before property revaluation and profits on disposal of investments and others, were HK$98,873 million and HK$65,713 million, increases of 3% and 2% respectively compared to 2013.

Total recurring profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, before property revaluation and profits on disposal of investments and others, after tax for the year was HK$32,008 million, a 3% increase compared to last year’s profit of HK$31,028 million.

These profits were partly offset by:

- provisions relating to the restructuring of 3Ireland on acquisition of O2 Ireland amounting to HK$3,388 million;

- Hutchison Telecommunications (Australia) (“HTAL”)’s 50% share of Vodafone Hutchison Australia (“VHA”) operating losses of HK$1,732 million;

- the Group’s share of Husky Energy’s impairment charge on certain crude oil and natural gas assets of HK$1,413 million;

- provisions of HK$652 million on the impairment of goodwill and store closure of the Marionnaud businesses to exit Poland and downsize operations in Portugal and Spain; and

- impairment charges on certain ports assets and related provisions of HK$581 million.

This compares to a reported profits on disposal of investments and others, after tax of HK$52 million in 2013.

Investment property revaluation after tax for the year was HK$25,100 million as compared to HK$32 million for 2013.

Profit attributable to ordinary shareholders reported for the year was HK$67,156 million as compared to HK$31,112 million in 2013, after the property revaluation and one-time items mentioned above.

Note 1: Total revenue, earnings before interest expenses and other finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) and earnings before interest expenses and other finance costs and tax (“EBIT”), interest expenses and other finance costs and tax include the Group’s proportionate share of associated companies’ and joint ventures’ respective items.

Note 2: See Note 6 to the accounts on the details of the profits on disposal of investments and others, after tax for 2014 and 2013.

Note 3: Recurring earnings per share is calculated based on profits attributable to ordinary shareholders before property revaluation, after tax and profits on disposal of investments and others, after tax.

HPH Trust EuropeMainland China and Other Hong Kong Asia, Australia and Others * Other port related services

Total revenue increased 4% to HK$35,624 million in 2014 primarily driven by higher contributions from Europe Container Terminals (“ECT”) in Rotterdam, ports in the UK, Shanghai, Panama, and the developing ports in Sydney and Brisbane in Australia, partly offset by the lower revenue contribution from reduced throughput of ports in Indonesia and Mexico, as well as adverse foreign exchange movements.

Note 2: Total revenue has been adjusted to exclude non-controlling interests’ share of revenue of HPH Trust.

EBITDA for the division improved by 6% to HK$12,133 million, largely driven by the throughput growth previously mentioned, together with the continued focus on productivity and efficiency initiatives. The growth in EBIT, which increased 8% to HK$7,944 million in 2014, was higher relative to the increase in EBITDA as the lower increase in depreciation charges in 2014 was attributable to the accelerated depreciation that was recognised against certain assets at London Thamesport in 2013, partly offset by higher charges from the expanded facilities in Mexico and Panama, as well as from the new start-up ports at Barcelona, Spain and in Brisbane and Sydney in Australia.

Note 3: EBITDA has been adjusted to exclude non-controlling interests’ share of EBITDA of HPH Trust.

Note 4: 2010 to 2012 comparatives have been restated to reflect the effect of the adoption of amendments to HKAS19 in 2013.

EBIT(5) 812 785 +3%


Note 5: Total revenue, EBITDA and EBIT have been adjusted to exclude non-controlling interests’ share of results of HPH Trust.

Throughput of the ports operated by HPH Trust increased by 6% during 2014. However, the Group’s share of revenue of HPH Trust increased only by 1%, reflecting the disposal of an effective 60% interest in Asia Container Terminals Holdings Limited (“ACT HK”) in March 2014. The Group’s share of EBITDA and EBIT increased 2% and 3% respectively in 2014, primarily attributable to the gain on HPH Trust’s disposal of an effective 60% interest in ACT HK in 2014, partly offset by the higher labour and other operating costs.

In March 2014, HPH Trust divested 60% of its equity interest in ACT HK, located at Terminal 8 in Hong Kong’s Kwai Tsing Port to COSCO Pacific Limited (40%) and China Shipping Terminal Development (Hong Kong) Company Limited (20%). HPH Trust retains an effective interest of 40% in ACT HK.

The improvement in performance from Mainland China and other Hong Kong segment was mainly due to the growth in contributions from the division’s ports in Shanghai, Ningbo and Xiamen that have acquired new services, partly offset by diversion of cargo through road transport resulting in reduced feeder service volumes at Shantou and higher operating costs.

The better performances of the Europe segment reflected the continuing recovery of the global economy, driving higher import and export volumes and higher proportion of local throughput mix in ECT Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the ports in the UK as well as at Barcelona Europe South Terminal (“BEST Barcelona”). The increase in EBIT also reflects the accelerated depreciation against certain assets at London Thamesport that was recognised in 2013, partly offset by the full year depreciation impact of the new terminal at BEST Barcelona.

The improved contribution from the Asia, Australia and others segment reflected higher contributions from all major ports except for Mexico, Jakarta in Indonesia and the start-up losses of the Australian ports. Due to the Initial Public Offering of Westports Holdings Bhd. on the Malaysia Stock Exchange in October 2013, the Group’s share of results of the Malaysian port operations reduced from 31.45% to 23.55%.

The division’s reduced performance in 2014 was primarily due to lower development sales in the Mainland, partly offset by stable growth in both investment properties and the hotels operations.

The Group recorded an increase in fair value of its investment properties, after tax and non-controlling interests, of HK$25,100 million in 2014 (2013: HK$32 million).

The Group’s attributable interest in the rental properties in Hong Kong total approximately 11.8 million square feet (2013: 11.8 million square feet) including properties held by associates and joint ventures. Gross rental income of HK$4,098 million (2013: HK$3,780 million) represents an 8% growth compared with last year and reflects higher lease renewal rates. All of the Group’s Hong Kong rental properties are substantially let.

Investment Properties (continued)

The Mainland and Overseas

The Group’s various joint ventures in the Mainland and overseas hold investment properties totalling 3.5 million square feet, of which the Group’s share is 1.5 million square feet (2013: 2.2 million square feet). The Group’s share of gross rental income from these properties was HK$434 million (2013: HK$479 million), 9% lower than last year, mainly due to the disposal of Guangzhou Metropolitan Plaza in 2013.

Development Properties and Gains on Property Disposals

Development profits and gains on disposal of properties contributed HK$5,022 million to the Group’s EBITDA in 2014 (2013: HK$8,774 million). With the aggressive discounting in various Mainland cities, the division has reported slower sales volume. However, average selling prices of the division have maintained at a level which ensured delivery of a healthy margin from its premium properties.

The division completed residential and commercial properties with an attributable gross floor area of approximately 4.9 million square feet and recognised sales on an attributable share of gross floor area amounting to 3.4 million square feet in 2014, representing decreases of 45% and 56% respectively compared to 2013. The corresponding revenue from recognised sales, including the Group’s attributable share of revenue from associated companies and joint ventures, decreased by 55% to HK$6,845 million in 2014 due to reasons mentioned above.

The Group’s current attributable landbank is approximately 78 million square feet, of which 97% is in the Mainland (at an average land cost of RMB238 per square foot or approximately HK$298 per square foot) and 3% in the UK and Singapore. This landbank comprises 38 projects in 21 cities and is planned to be developed in a phased manner over several years.

The Group also recognised gains on the disposal of its interest in certain properties held as long term investment in Hong Kong and its interest in the Shanghai Oriental Financial Center.

The Mainland

Of the Group’s attributable share of approximately 4.9 million square feet of development completed in 2014, approximately 4.7 million square feet were completed in the Mainland. In light of the weak property market, the Group has strategically timed both completion and new sales launches for certain projects pending an improvement in market sentiment.

The Group’s share of recognised sales of residential and commercial development properties, net of business tax, decreased 60% to HK$5,602 million, and the corresponding development profits contributed HK$1,503 million to the Group’s EBITDA during the year, 71% lower than 2013.

The average selling price of residential properties relating to recognised sales was HK$1,715 per square foot (2013: HK$1,636 per square foot). The Group’s average land cost relating to the recognised sales of residential properties in 2014 was approximately HK$281 per square foot (2013: HK$227 per square foot). The Group’s average construction cost and average professional, marketing, funding and other costs amounted to approximately HK$529 per square foot and HK$412 per square foot respectively (2013: HK$533 per square foot and HK$311 per square foot respectively).

Hotels

The Group has interests in 11 hotels in Hong Kong, the Mainland and the Bahamas, of which eight are managed through its 50% owned hotel management joint venture. In 2014, the hotel operations recorded total revenue of HK$3,298 million, or a 9% increase when compared to last year. EBITDA and EBIT, including the results of hotel commercial properties, increased by 1% and 2% to HK$1,301 million and HK$1,061 million respectively, when compared to last year. The increases are mainly due to improved operation result in the Bahamas, partly offset by adverse performance of the Mainland hotels.

The Group’s attributable share of gross floor area of 1.9 million square foot in the eight hotels in Hong Kong, generated an average attributable hotel operating profit (“HOP”) (1) of HK$36 per square foot per month (ranging from HK$12 per square foot per month to HK$71 per square foot per month), and a 20.1% EBIT yield on its attributable carrying value of these hotels of approximately HK$3,581 million. Total average hotel rooms occupancy rate is 94% in Hong Kong.

Note 1: HOP represents EBITDA after depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment.

Despite the difficult trading environment in Europe, the health and beauty businesses in Western Europe were able to grow their revenue during the year. This growth was mainly due to strong sales performances of the Rossmann joint venture in Germany and Kruidvat in the Benelux countries, as well as increased contributions from Savers and Superdrug in the UK.

Health and Beauty Western Europe added 158 stores during 2014 and currently operates more than 4,800 stores. The average new store cash payback period of this subdivision was around 12 months.

The infrastructure division comprises the Group’s interest in Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings Limited (“CKI”), a leading investor in the infrastructure sectors in Hong Kong, the Mainland, the UK, the Netherlands, Australia, New

Zealand and Canada.

As at 31 December 2014, the Group held a 78.16% (1) interest in CKI, which contributed 11%, 25% and 28%

respectively to the total revenue, EBITDA and EBIT of the Group’s businesses during the year.

EBIT 18,215 17,528 +4%

CKI is one of the largest publicly listed infrastructure companies on the SEHK, with diversified investments in energy infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, water infrastructure, waste management and infrastructure-related businesses.

CKI announced profit attributable to shareholders of HK$31,782 million, an increase of 173% from 2013, primarily due to its share of the gain, after consolidation adjustments, arising from Power Assets separately listing its Hong Kong electricity business, by way of the listing of share stapled units jointly issued by HK Electric Investments and HK Electric Investments Limited (collectively as “HKEI”) on the Main Board of the SEHK in January 2014. Power Assets currently holds 49.9% of HKEI.

CKI’s total revenue, EBITDA and EBIT, after consolidation adjustments, increased by 7%, 7% and 4% in 2014 respectively, which excluded the gains reported within the Group’s “Profits on disposal of investments & others, after tax”, relating to the IPO of HKEI and the marked-to-market gain on the AGN acquisition mentioned previously. CKI reported strong growth from the underlying operations, the full-year profit contribution from the business acquired in 2013 including Enviro Waste Services Limited in New Zealand, and AVR-Afvalverwerking BV (“AVR”) in the Netherlands, as well as the accretive income of businesses acquired during 2014 as discussed below.

Power Assets, a company listed on the SEHK and in which CKI holds a 38.87% interest, announced profit attributable to shareholders of HK$61,005 million, an increase of 446% compared to last year’s profit of HK$11,165 million due to the gain on IPO of HKEI as well as the growth from its share of the results of AGN and AVR, partly offset by its reduced share of the results of the Hong Kong electricity business subsequent to the IPO of HKEI and deferred tax credits recorded in 2013 as result of a reduction in the UK corporate tax rate.

In July 2014, a CKI-led joint-venture with Cheung Kong completed the acquisition of Park’N Fly, the largest off-airport car park business in Canada for approximately C$381 million (approximately HK$2,720 million).

In October 2014, a CKI-led joint-venture with Cheung Kong and Power Assets completed its takeover bid for AGN, a distributor of natural gas in Australia, for a cash consideration of A$1.32 per share. CKI, together with Power Assets currently owns approximately 72.5% of AGN.

In January 2015, a CKI-led joint-venture with Cheung Kong entered into an agreement to acquire Eversholt Rail Group (“Eversholt”) in the UK. Eversholt is a major rolling stock operating company in the UK, leasing to train operators a diverse range of rolling stock including regional, commuter and high-speed passenger trains as well as freight locomotives and wagons on long-term contracts. The acquisition has an enterprise value of approximately £2,500 million (approximately HK$29,300 million) and is expected to complete around April 2015.

Note 1: In January 2015, CKI completed a share placement and share subscription transaction that resulted in the Group’s interest in CKI reducing from 78.16% to 75.67%.

Operations Review – Energy

The energy division comprises of the Group’s 33.97% interest in Husky Energy, an integrated energy company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.


Total Revenue 57,368 59,481 -4% +3%

EBITDA 14,410 14,779 -2% +5%

EBIT 6,324 7,208 -12% -6%

Production (mboe/day) 340.1 312.0 +9%

The energy division contributed 14%, 14% and 10% respectively to the total revenue, EBITDA and EBIT of the Group’s businesses.

Husky Energy announced revenues, net of royalties, increased 3% to C$24,092 million. Profit from operations attributable to shareholders decreased 31% to C$1,258 million. Excluding the after tax impairment charges of C$622 million and C$204 million on certain crude oil and natural gas assets in 2014 and 2013 respectively, profit from operations attributable to shareholders decreased 8% to C$1,880 million.

EBITDA of Husky Energy increased 5% to C$6,019 million, mainly due to increased crude oil and natural gas production with new production from the Liwan Gas Project and heavy oil thermal developments as well as higher averaged realised crude oil and natural gas prices; partially offset by lower refining margins and lower margins in commodity marketing. However, EBIT (before impairment charges) decreased 6% to C$2,847 million mainly due to higher depreciation from increased production in 2014.

The Group’s share of EBITDA and EBIT, after translation into Hong Kong dollars and consolidation adjustments, but before the impairment charges mentioned above, decreased 2% and 12% respectively due to adverse foreign exchange movement.

In 2014, Husky Energy’s production averaged approximately 340,100 barrels of oil equivalent (“BOEs”) per day, a 9% increase when compared to approximately 312,000 BOEs per day in 2013, primarily due to the commencement of natural gas production from the Liwan Gas Project; strong production performance from the heavy oil thermal developments (particularly the Sandall development which began crude oil production in the first quarter of the year) and increased production from the Ansell multi-zone liquids-rich resource play.

Aggregated dividends on common shares of C$1,180 million relating to the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first three quarters of 2014 were declared during the year, of which C$1,169 million and C$11 million were paid in cash and common shares respectively. Cash received and receivable by the Group from Husky Energy’s dividend amounted to C$401 million or HK$2,802 million in 2014.

Husky Energy has delivered steady performance with its balanced growth and focused integration strategy in 2014. First gas from the Liwan 3-1 field of the Liwan Gas Project in the South China Sea achieved in March 2014 and the second gas field at Liuhua 34-2 was brought online in December 2014. Steam operations at Phase 1 of the Sunrise Energy Project commenced in December 2014. The first 30,000 barrels per day plant is expected to begin production towards the end of the first quarter of 2015 and the second 30,000 barrels per day plant is expected to commence production in late 2015. Production from Phase 1 of Sunrise Energy Project is expected to ramp up over a two-year period reaching peak production to 60,000 barrels per day (30,000 barrels per day net to Husky Energy). The 3,500 barrels per day Sandall heavy oil thermal development commenced production in the first quarter of 2014 with strong production averaging 5,700 barrels per day in 2014.

Note 2: EBITDA margin % represents EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue (excluding handset revenue).

Note 3: Licence costs as at 31 December 2014 represent incidental costs in relation to licences acquired in the prior year.

3 Group Europe contributed 16%, 16% and 10% respectively to the total revenue, EBITDA and EBIT of the Group’s businesses.

3 Group Europe’s registered customer base grew 11% during the year to total over 29.5 million at 31 December 2014, while the active base grew 13% to total over 25.0 million and represented an 85% activity level. The proportion of contract customers as a percentage of the registered customer base has decreased marginally from 59% last year to 58% at the end of 2014. The revenue generated by contract customers accounted for approximately 84% of overall net customer service revenue, 3%-points lower than last year due to the higher contribution of the non-contract customers in the newly acquired businesses in Austria and Ireland and the increased focus on pre-paid non-contract customers in Italy during the year. Management continues to focus on managing churn and the average monthly customer churn rate of the contract customer base remained at 1.7% for a third consecutive year.


Page 47 of 73

3 Group Europe’s net ARPU decreased by 1% to €17.20 compared to 2013, primarily due to price competition in Italy and Denmark and the symmetrical interconnection rate reductions in various countries which has a minimal impact on net customer service margin. However, net customer service revenue increased 9% mainly due to the increase in active customers. Net AMPU increased by 1% to €13.82 mainly due to an increased proportion of higher margin data revenue, together with the enlarged customer base, resulted in an 11% net customer service margin increase.

3 Group Europe continued to capture market share in the smartphone and mobile data segments. The majority of the 3 Group Europe operations once again held a leading position in their respective country’s smartphone and mobile broadband access segments during 2014. 4G (LTE) network rollouts continue to progress well providing good customer usage experiences at competitive prices.

At 31 December 2014, approximately 6.6 million customers, representing 22% of the total 3 Group Europe customer base, are mobile broadband access customers, in line with last year. Contract smartphone customers acquired in 2014 represented around 41% of the total contract customers acquired during the year. Total data usage exceeded 605 petabytes in 2014, an increase of 57% compared to last year. Data usage per active customer was approximately 25.4 gigabytes in 2014 compared to 18.2 gigabytes in 2013.

Total CACs, net of handset revenue in postpaid contract bundled plans, totalled HK$7,142 million in 2014, 8% higher than in 2013, while operating expenses increased 4% to HK$17,982 million.

EBITDA and EBIT growth reflected the enlarged customer base, improved net customer service margin, accretive contribution from 3 Ireland’s acquisition of O2 Ireland and continued realisation of post-merger cost synergies in 3 Austria.

3 Group Europe continued to maintain sustainable growth contributions under a prudent capex management strategy resulting in EBITDA less capex increasing 73% to HK$4,327 million in 2014.

In January 2015, the Group agreed to enter into exclusive negotiations with Telefónica, SA for the potential acquisition of O2 UK, for an indicative price of £9.25 billion cash and deferred upside interest sharing payments of up to £1 billion upon achievement by the combined business of 3 UK and O2 UK of agreed financial targets.

Total active customer base (millions) 8.4 7.9






EBITDA of £547 million was 31% higher than 2013 mainly driven by improved net customer service margin arising from an enlarged customer base while net AMPU was in line with 2013. The net customer service margin in 2014 also benefited from the positive financial impact of the successful adoption of “Feel At Home”, a popular roaming offering launched in late 2013, and an improved tariff mix, partly offset by a one-off provision for a dispute on fixed to mobile interconnection rates. Lower total CACs (net of handset revenue) and operating expenses also contributed to the higher EBITDA in 2014. These improvements were partly offset by higher depreciation and amortisation due to an increased number of sites and larger asset base, resulting in an EBIT of £314 million, an increase of 52% over last year.

The Italian market’s competitive environment continued to add pressure on 3 Italy’s ability to grow its revenue base. Despite a 5% increase in net customer service margin, the higher operating expenses and higher total CACs (net of handset revenue) resulted in the operation reporting an 11% decrease in EBITDA to €248 million. LBIT of €46 million was adverse to the breakeven EBIT position in 2013 of €0.3 million, due to higher depreciation and amortisation as network enhancement continued.

In Sweden, where the Group has a 60% interest, EBITDA and EBIT of SEK1,746 million and SEK994 million increased 17% and 23% respectively from 2013, due to the successful transition to data centric business model in its customer base at the end of 2013, as well as an 11% enlarged active customer base and 2% increase in net AMPU. These improvements were partly offset by 23% increase in total CACs (net of handset revenue) due to higher commissions and 1% increase in operating expenses.

In Denmark, where the Group has a 60% interest, recorded a 3% increase of EBITDA to DKK734 million. The EBITDA growth is in line with the improvement on net customer service margin, which was driven by an 8% increase in the active customer base, partly offset by a 9% lower net AMPU due to keen market competition. The improvement in EBITDA was partly offset by higher depreciation and amortisation, resulting in 1% increase in EBIT to DKK425 million in 2014.

Despite a reduction in net customer service revenue of 5% mainly from the reduction in the symmetrical interconnection rates, net customer service margin improved 1% against last year as the interconnection rate reduction has minimal margin impact.

EBITDA and EBIT of €245 million and €170 million increased 35% and 60% respectively from 2013 mainly due to the realisation of additional cost synergies following the completion of Orange Austria acquisition in January 2013.

EBITDA of €64 million and the breakeven EBIT of €0.1 million were 700% and 100% higher than 2013 respectively due to the incremental contribution following the completion of O2 Ireland acquisition in July 2014, which added 1.5 million customers to 3 Ireland’s customer base. Realisation of post-merger cost synergy is expected in 2015, which will further enhance 3 Group Europe’s contribution to the Group’s results.

EBITDA 2,780 2,758 +1%

EBIT 1,380 1,367 +1%

Total active customer base (‘000) 3,197 3,771 -15%

HTHKH announced its 2014 turnover of HK$16,296 million and profit attributable to shareholders of HK$833 million, a 28% increase and a 9% decrease respectively over last year. EBITDA of HK$2,780 million and EBIT of HK$1,380 million are comparable to 2013. The weaker year-on-year performance is due to keen price competition in the first half of 2014. During the second half of 2014, the mobile business has improved its performance in a more rational market after the Hong Kong mobile market consolidated to a four-player market and also due to the launch of popular handsets. The EBITDA and EBIT of HTHKH for the second half of 2014 is a 26% and 57% improvement against the first half of 2014 and a 24% and 58% improvement against the second half of 2013 respectively. The fixed-line telecommunications business in Hong Kong continues to achieve steady growth, primarily from the international and local carrier segment as well as from the corporate and business segments. HTHKH contributed 4% to total revenue, 3% to EBITDA, and 2% to the EBIT of the Group’s businesses.

LBIT (1,465) (409) -258%

Total active customer base (‘000) 54,454 43,497 +25%

The adverse performance and the change from a positive EBITDA of HK$502 million reported for the first half to a LBITDA for the second half of HK$780 million and HK$278 million for the full year, were mainly due to charges in the year of approximately HK$1.1 billion relating to inappropriate dealer credit and commissioning practices in the Indonesian operation. LBITDA and LBIT in 2014 include compensation contributions of HK$238 million, a lower contribution compared to HK$717 million in 2013. HAT contributed 1%, negative 0.3% and negative 2% respectively to the total revenue, EBITDA and EBIT of the Group’s businesses.

In Indonesia, the active customer base at the end of 2014 increased 35% from last year to approximately 43.1 million customers. Despite the increase in customer base, the poor performances in LBITDA and LBIT were due to the reasons mentioned above. Senior management of the Indonesian operation has been replaced and strengthened internal controls put in place to re-focus the business on operational and trade practice improvements.

In Vietnam, the active customer base at the end of 2014 decreased by 5% over last year to approximately 9.4 million due to increased competition. The division’s strategy is to manage the business to return and reduce investment cost and to convert from a business co-operation venture to a joint stock company when conditions are conducive.

In Sri Lanka, the active customer base increased by 25% compared to last year to approximately 2.0 million at the end of 2014, with slight improvements in underlying LBITDA and LBIT.

HTAL, share of VHA

2014 2013 AUDmillions AUD millions Change

Announced Total Revenue 1,748 1,776 -2%

Announced Loss Attributable to Shareholders (286) (230) -24%

HTAL announced total revenue from its share of 50% owned associated company, VHA, of A$1,748 million, a 2% decrease over last year. The loss attributable to shareholders increased by 24% to A$286 million, primarily due to the accelerated depreciation on certain network assets in light of the strategic plan to build an expanded and more resilient network. Excluding this one-off charge, the underlying loss attributable to shareholders improved 7% compared to 2013. Despite the reported losses, VHA achieved breakeven unlevered operating free cash flow before spectrum payments in 2014, reflecting improved working capital and capex management. This encouraging achievement demonstrated VHA management’s continued focus on turning the company around to profitability.

VHA’s active customer base remained stable at approximately 5.3 million (including MVNOs) at 31 December 2014, with customer growth in the second half of 2014. With the continued geographic expansion of the network and an increased retail presence across Australia, VHA will build on and continue to grow its customer base.

Hutchison Water Limited

The Group has a 49% interest in a water desalination project in Israel which was granted a 26.5-year concession by the Israeli government to build and operate a water desalination plant in Sorek, Israel. The plant has commenced commercial operation in 2014 following the completion of construction at the end of 2013 and is one of the largest in the world in terms of capacity.

Marionnaud

Interest Expense, Finance Costs and Tax

The Group’s interest expenses and finance costs for the year, including its share of associated companies’ and joint ventures’ interest expenses, amortisation of finance costs and after deducting interest capitalised on assets under development, amounted to HK$14,324 million, an increase of 1% when compared to 2013. Further information on these expenses can be found in the “Group Capital Resources and Liquidity” section of this Annual Report.

The Group recorded current and deferred tax charges totalling HK$9,510 million for the year, a decrease of 19% due to lower tax charges from property and energy businesses which reported lower profits in 2014.

Operations Review – Finance & Investments and Others

Summary

Economic and market conditions remained volatile in 2014 which affect the Group’s businesses worldwide. Despite facing various challenges, the Group continued to demonstrate its resilience and sustained growth in recurring earnings in 2014, while maintaining a healthy and conservative level of liquidity and a strong balance sheet.

The Group remains committed to its dual objectives of maintaining a healthy rate of growth in recurring earnings and a strong financial profile. This will be achieved through cautious and selective expansion, stringent capital expenditure and cost controls across all businesses, and maintaining a prudent financial profile, including a Group consolidated net debt to net total capital ratio not higher than 25% and strong liquidity. Barring adverse external developments in the sectors and geographies in which we operate, I have full confidence these objectives will be achieved in 2015.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa Limited

(incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)

We have audited the consolidated accounts of Hutchison Whampoa Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries

(collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages 2 to 81, which comprise the consolidated and Company

statements of financial position as at 31 December 2014, and the consolidated income statement, the consolidated

statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of

cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory

information.

Directors’ responsibility for the consolidated accounts

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated accounts that give a true and fair

view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified

Public Accountants, and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors

determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated accounts that are free from material misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated accounts based on our audit and to report our opinion

solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 80 of Schedule 11 to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and

for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents

of this report.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of

Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform

the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated accounts are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the

consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the

risks of material misstatement of the consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk

assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of consolidated accounts that

give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the

purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating

the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors,

as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated accounts.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit

opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated accounts give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the

Group as at 31 December 2014, and of the Group’s profit and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with

Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong

Companies Ordinance.

Notes to the Accounts

1 Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS") issued by the Hong Kong

Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for

certain properties and financial instruments which are stated at fair values, as explained in the significant accounting policies set out in

note 2.

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the

HKICPA that are relevant to the Group’s operations and mandatory for annual periods beginning 1 January 2014. The effect of the

adoption of these new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations was not material to the Group's results of operations

or financial position.

The accounts also comply with the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, which for this financial year and the

comparative period continue to be those of the predecessor Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32), in accordance with transitional and

saving arrangements for Part 9 of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), "Accounts and Audit", which are set out in sections

76 to 87 of Schedule 11 to that Ordinance.

2 Significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated accounts of the Group include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiary companies and

also incorporate the Group’s interest in associated companies and joint ventures on the basis set out in notes 2(c) and 2(d) below.

Results of subsidiary and associated companies and joint ventures acquired or disposed of during the year are included as from

their effective dates of acquisition to 31 December 2014 or up to the dates of disposal as the case may be. The acquisition of

subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method.

(b) Subsidiary companies

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed,

or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power

over the entity. In the consolidated accounts, subsidiary companies are accounted for as described in note 2(a) above. In the

unconsolidated accounts of the holding company, investments in subsidiary companies are carried at cost less provision for

impairment in value.

(c) Associated companies

An associate is an entity, other than a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Group has a long-term equity interest and over

which the Group is in a position to exercise significant influence over its management, including participation in the financial and

operating policy decisions.

The results and net assets of associates are incorporated in these accounts using the equity method of accounting, except when the

investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for under HKFRS 5, Non-current assets held for sale and

discontinued operations. The total carrying amount of such investments is reduced to recognise any identified impairment loss in

the value of individual investments.

(d) Joint arrangements

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control and over which none of the participating

parties has unilateral control.

Investments in joint arrangements are classified either as joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the contractual rights and

obligations each investor has. Joint operations arise where the investors have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of

an arrangement. A joint operator accounts for its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise where the

investors have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method.

The results and net assets of joint ventures are incorporated in these accounts using the equity method of accounting, except when

the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for under HKFRS 5, Non-current assets held for sale and

discontinued operations. The total carrying amount of such investments is reduced to recognise any identified impairment loss

in the value of individual investments.

2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation and any impairment loss. Buildings are depreciated on the basis of an expected life

of 50 years, or the remainder thereof, or over the remaining period of the lease of the underlying leasehold land, whichever is less.

The period of the lease includes the period for which a right of renewal is attached.

Depreciation of other fixed assets is provided at rates calculated to write off their costs over their estimated useful lives on a straight-

line basis at the following annual rates:

Motor vehicles 20-25%

Plant, machinery and equipment 3 1/3-20%

Container terminal equipment 3-20%

Telecommunications equipment 2.5-10%

Leasehold improvements Over the unexpired period of the lease or 15%, whichever is greater

The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of a fixed asset is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount

of the relevant asset, and is recognised in the income statement.

(f) Investment properties

Investment properties are interests in land and buildings that are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Such

properties are carried in the statement of financial position at their fair value as determined by professional valuation. Changes in

fair values of investment properties are recorded in the income statement.

(g) Leasehold land

The acquisition costs and upfront payments made for leasehold land are presented on the face of the statement of financial position

as leasehold land and expensed in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(h) Telecommunications licences

Telecommunications licences are comprised of the upfront payments and non-cash consideration made for acquiring

telecommunications spectrum licences plus the capitalised present value of fixed periodic payments to be made in subsequent years,

together with the interest accrued prior to the date of first commercial usage of the spectrum.

Telecommunications licences that are considered to have an indefinite useful life to the Group are not amortised and are tested for

impairment annually and when there is indication that they may be impaired. Telecommunications licences with finite useful lives are

amortised on a straight-line basis from the date of first commercial usage of the related spectrum over the remaining expected

contracted or expected licence periods ranging from approximately 9 to 20 years and are stated net of accumulated amortisation.

(i) Telecommunications customer acquisition costs

Telecommunications customer acquisition costs (“CACs”) comprise the net costs to acquire and retain mobile telecommunications

customers, which are primarily 3G and LTE customers. All telecommunications CACs are expensed and recognised in the income

statement in the period in which they are incurred.

(j) Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for

non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Group's previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the

net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill on acquisition of a foreign operation is treated as an asset of the

foreign operation.

Goodwill is subject to impairment test annually and when there are indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired company, the

difference is recognised directly in the income statement.

The profit or loss on disposal is calculated by reference to the net assets at the date of disposal including the attributable amount of

goodwill but does not include any attributable goodwill previously eliminated against reserves.



Page 11 of 81


(k) Brand names and other rights

The payments and non-cash consideration made for acquiring brand names and other rights are capitalised. Brand names and other

rights with indefinite lives are not amortised. Brand names and other rights with finite lives are amortised on a straight-line basis

from the date of their first commercial usage over their estimated useful lives ranging from approximately 3 to 40 years. Brand names

and other rights are stated net of accumulated amortisation, if any.

(l) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised, using the liabilities method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities

and their carrying amounts in the accounts. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable

profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses and tax credits

can be utilised.

(m) Liquid funds and other listed investments and other unlisted investments

"Liquid funds and other listed investments" are investments in listed / traded debt securities, listed equity securities, long-term

deposits and cash and cash equivalents. "Other unlisted investments", disclosed under other non-current assets, are investments in

unlisted debt securities, unlisted equity securities and other receivables. These investments are recognised and de-recognised on the

date the Group commits to purchase or sell the investments or when they expire. These investments are classified and accounted for

as follows:

Loans and receivables

"Loans and receivables" are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active

market. At the end of the reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using

the effective interest method less impairment. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the income

statement.

Held-to-maturity investments

"Held-to-maturity investments" are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the

Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. At the end of the reporting period subsequent to initial recognition,

held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest calculated

using the effective interest method is recognised in the income statement.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

"Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" are financial assets where changes in fair value are recognised in the income

statement in the period in which they arise. At the end of the reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets

are carried at fair value. In addition, any dividends or interests earned on these financial assets are recognised in the income

statement.


"Available-for-sale investments" are non-derivative financial assets that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity

investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. At the end of the reporting period subsequent to initial recognition,

these financial assets are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated

under the heading of revaluation reserve except for impairment losses which are charged to the income statement. Where these

investments are interest bearing, interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the income statement.

Dividends from available-for-sale investments are recognised when the right to receive payment is established. When available-for-

sale investments are sold, the cumulative fair value gains or losses previously recognised in revaluation reserve is removed from

revaluation reserve and recognised in the income statement.

(n) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivative financial instruments are utilised by the Group in the management of its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The

Group’s policy is not to utilise derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments

are initially measured at fair value on the contract date, and are remeasured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates. Changes in

fair value are recognised based on whether certain qualifying criteria under HKAS 39 are satisfied in order to apply hedge accounting,

and if so, the nature of the items being hedged.



Page 12 of 81


(n) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (continued)

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments to hedge the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities may qualify as fair value

hedges. The Group mainly enters into interest rate swap contracts to swap certain fixed interest rate borrowings into floating interest

rate borrowings. Changes in the fair value of these derivative contracts, together with the changes in the fair value of the hedged

assets or liabilities attributable to the hedged risk are recognised in the income statement as interest expenses and other finance costs.

At the same time the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability in the statement of financial position is adjusted for the changes

in fair value.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments to hedge against the cash flows attributable to recognised assets or liabilities or

forecast payments may qualify as cash flow hedges. The Group mainly enters into interest rate swap contracts to swap certain floating

interest rate borrowings to fixed interest rate borrowings and foreign currency contracts to hedge the currency risk associated with

certain forecast foreign currency payments and obligations. Changes in the fair value of these derivative contracts are recognised in

other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of hedging reserve. Amounts accumulated are removed from

hedging reserve and recognised in the income statement in the periods when the hedged derivative contract matures, except, when

the forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the amounts accumulated are

transferred from hedging reserve and, then they are included in the initial cost of the asset or liability.

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting under HKAS 39 will be accounted for with the changes in fair value being

recognised in the income statement.

(o) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest method, less provision for impairment. Appropriate allowance for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in the

income statement when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired.

(p) Properties under development

Land for properties under development is stated at cost and development expenditure is stated at the aggregate amount of costs

incurred up to the date of completion, including capitalised interest on related loans.

(q) Inventories

Inventories consist mainly of retail goods and the carrying value is mainly determined using the weighted average cost method.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

(r) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are

readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(s) Borrowings and borrowing costs

The Group’s borrowings and debt instruments are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently

carried at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption amount

of borrowings and debt instruments is recognised over the period of the borrowings using effective interest method.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that

necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until

such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the income


(t) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest method.

(u) Customer loyalty credits

Customer loyalty credits are accounted for as a separate component of the sales transaction in which they are granted.



Page 13 of 81


(v) Share capital

Share capital issued by the Company are recorded in equity at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. In accordance with the

transitional provisions set out in section 37 of Schedule 11 to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), on 3 March 2014, the

amounts standing to the credit of the share premium account and capital redemption reserve created under the sections 48B and 49H

of the predecessor Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) have become part of the Company’s share capital.

(w) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as

a result of past events and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

(x) Leased assets

Assets acquired pursuant to finance leases and hire purchase contracts that transfer to the Group substantially all the rewards and

risks of ownership are accounted for as if purchased.

Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the leases at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets or the present value of

the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The capital element of the

leasing commitment is included as a liability and the interest element is charged to the income statement. All other leases are

accounted for as operating leases and the rental payments are charged to the income statement on accrual basis.

(y) Asset impairment

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually and when there is indication that they may be impaired.

Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortisation are reviewed for impairment to determine whether there is any indication that

the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the

recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount is

the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to dispose and value in use. Such impairment loss is recognised in the income statement

except where the asset is carried at valuation and the impairment loss does not exceed the revaluation surplus for that asset, in which

case it is treated as a revaluation decrease.

(z) Pension plans

Pension plans are classified into defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The pension plans are generally funded by the

relevant Group companies taking into account the recommendations of independent qualified actuaries and by payments from

employees for contributory plans.

The Group’s contributions to the defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the year incurred.

Pension costs for defined benefit plans are assessed using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, the cost of providing

pensions is charged to the income statement so as to spread the regular cost over the future service lives of employees in accordance

with the advice of the actuaries who carry out a full valuation of the plans. The pension obligation is measured at the present value

of the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period

based on government agency or high quality corporate bonds with currency and term similar to the estimated term of benefit

obligations.

Remeasurements arising from defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the year in which they occur

and reflected immediately in retained profit. Remeasurements comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding

amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)) and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding

amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)).

Pension costs are charged to the income statement within staff costs.

(aa) Share-based payments

The Company has no share option scheme but certain of the Company’s subsidiary companies and associated companies have

issued equity-settled and cash-settled share-based payments to certain employees. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured

at fair value (excluding the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions) at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant

date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the respective

group companies’ estimate of their shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions.

For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current

fair value determined at the end of the reporting period.



Page 14 of 81


(ab) Foreign exchange

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the rates of exchange ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and

liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period.

The accounts of foreign operations (i.e. subsidiary companies, associated companies, joint ventures or branches whose activities are

based or conducted in a country or currency other than those of the Company) are translated into Hong Kong dollars using the year

end rates of exchange for the statement of financial position items and the average rates of exchange for the year for the income

statement items. Exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of

exchange reserve. Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings and other currency instruments designated as

hedges of such overseas investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of

exchange reserve.

Exchange differences arising from translation of inter-company loan balances between Group entities are recognised in other

comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of exchange reserve when such loans form part of the Group’s net

investment in a foreign entity. On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign

operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of

joint control over a joint venture that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an

associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange gains or losses accumulated in exchange reserve in respect of that

operation attributable to the owners of the Company are transferred out of the exchange reserve and are recognised in the income

statement.

In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary that

includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling

interests and are not recognised in the income statement. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or joint

ventures that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated

exchange differences is transferred out of the exchange reserve and are recognised in the income statement.

All other exchange differences are recognised in the income statement.

(ac) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and

services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes. Revenue is recognised to the extent that

it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably.

Ports and related services

Revenue from the provision of ports and related services is recognised when the service is rendered.

Property and hotels

Revenue from the sale of properties is recognised either on the date of sale or on the date of issue of the relevant occupation permit,

whichever is later, and the economic benefit accrues to the Group and the significant risks and rewards of the properties accrue to the

purchasers.

Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Revenue from the provision of hotel management, consultancy and technical service is recognised when the service is rendered.

Retail

Revenue from the sale of retail goods is recognised at point of sales less an estimate for sales return based on past experience where

goods are sold with a right to return. Retail sales are usually in cash or by credit card. The recorded revenue is the gross amount of

sales, including credit card fees payable for the transaction.

Infrastructure

Income from long-term contracts is recognised according to the stage of completion.



Page 15 of 81


(ac) Revenue recognition (continued)

Energy

Revenue from the sale of crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products and other energy products are recorded when title passes

to an external party.

Revenue associated with the sale of transportation, processing and natural gas storage services is recognised when the service is

rendered.

Mobile and fixed-line telecommunications services

Revenue from the provision of mobile telecommunications services with respect to voice, video, internet access, messaging and media

services, including data services and information provision, is recognised when the service is rendered and, depending on the nature

of the services, is recognised either at gross amount billed to the customer or the amount receivable as commission for facilitating the

services.

Revenue from the sale of prepaid mobile calling cards is recognised upon customer’s usage of the card or upon the expiry of the

service period.

For bundled transactions under contract comprising of provision of mobile telecommunications services and sale of a device

(e.g. handsets), the amount of revenue recognised upon the sale of the device is accrued as determined by considering the estimated

fair values of each of the services element and device element of the contract.

Other service income is recognised when the service is rendered.

Customer service revenue is mobile telecommunications service revenue, and where a customer is invoiced for a bundled transaction

under contract, the invoiced amount less amounts related to accrued device revenue and also less other service income.

Total revenue arising from mobile and fixed-line telecommunications services comprises of service revenue, other service income and

sale of device revenue.

Finance and investments

Dividend income from investments in securities is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(ii) Effective for the Group for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, except for "Amendment to HKFRS 2 Share-based

Payment" and "Amendment to HKFRS 3 Business Combinations" which are applicable to share-based payment transactions with

a grant date, and business combinations for which the acquisition date, is on or after 1 July 2014.

(iv) Effective for the Group for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.

(v) Effective for the Group for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

HKFRS 15 will be effective for the Group’s accounts for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. HKFRS 15 will

replace all existing HKFRS revenue guidance and requirements including HKAS 18 Revenue, HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and the

related Interpretations when it becomes effective. The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the

transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled

in exchange for those goods or services. The Group is assessing the impact of HKFRS 15 and as a result, it is not practicable to quantify

the impact of HKFRS 15 as at the date of publication of these accounts.

The adoption of other standards, amendments and interpretations listed above, in future periods is not expected to have any material

impact on the Group's results of operations and financial position.

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Note 2 includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accounts. The preparation of accounts

often requires the use of judgements to select specific accounting methods and policies from several acceptable alternatives. Furthermore,

significant estimates and assumptions concerning the future may be required in selecting and applying those methods and policies in the

accounts. The Group bases its estimates and judgements on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are

reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgements under different assumptions or

conditions.

The following is a review of the more significant assumptions and estimates, as well as the accounting policies and methods used in the

preparation of the accounts.

(a) Basis of consolidation

The determination of the Group’s level of control over another entity will require exercise of judgement under certain circumstances.

The Company controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has

the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. As such, the classification of the entity as a subsidiary, a

joint venture, an associate or a cost investment might require the application of judgement through the analysis of various indicators,

such as the percentage of ownership interest held in the entity, the representation on the entity’s board of directors and various

other factors including, if relevant, the existence of agreement with other shareholders, applicable statutes and regulations and their

requirements. The Group also considers, in particular, whether it obtains benefits, including non-financial benefits, from its power

to control the entity.

(b) Long-lived assets

The Group has made substantial investments in tangible and intangible long-lived assets, primarily in mobile and fixed-line

telecommunications networks and licences, container terminals, and properties. Changes in technology or changes in the intended

use of these assets may cause the estimated period of use or value of these assets to change.

The Group considers its asset impairment accounting policy to be a policy that requires one of the most extensive applications of

judgements and estimates.

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually and when there is indication that they may be impaired.

Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortisation are reviewed for impairment to determine whether there is any indication that

the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the

recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount

is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to dispose and value in use. Such impairment loss is recognised in the income

statement except where the asset is carried at valuation and the impairment loss does not exceed the revaluation surplus for that

asset, in which case it is treated as a revaluation decrease and is recognised in other comprehensive income.

Judgement is required in the area of asset impairment, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred that may indicate

that the related asset values may not be recoverable; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable

amount, being the higher of fair value less costs to dispose or net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon

the continued use of the asset in the business; and (3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in preparing cash flow projections

including whether these cash flow projections are discounted using an appropriate rate. Changing the assumptions used to determine

the level, if any, of impairment, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections, could materially

affect the net present value used in the impairment test and as a result affect the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

If there is a significant adverse change in the projected performance and resulting future cash flow projections, it may be necessary to

take an impairment charge to the income statement.

The Group’s 3G businesses have achieved a fifth consecutive year of EBIT positive results but are still building up scale and

growing their businesses. Impairment tests were undertaken as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 to assess whether the

carrying values of the Group’s telecommunications licences, network assets and goodwill were supported by the net present value

of future cash flows forecast to be derived from the use of these assets for each respective business. The results of the tests

undertaken as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 indicated that no impairment charge was necessary.

The future cash flow projections for the 3G businesses reflect growing recurring revenue and margins derived from an accumulating

customer base and diminishing ongoing investments in network infrastructure and in customer acquisitions.

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

(b) Long-lived assets (continued)

The forecast growth in recurring revenue and margins is driven primarily by the increasing size of the accumulating customer base,

accompanied by profitability improvements due to beneficial changes to services usage profiles. The increase in data usage, which

continued to drive growth in the mobile telecommunications business, is forecast to continue supported by the popularity of

smartphones. Improving operating margins are forecast driven in part by a change in the mix from voice toward non-voice revenues;

increased incoming traffic, which generates revenue from other operators, and increased percentage on-net or intra-network traffic,

which avoids interconnection costs being paid to other operators to terminate calls; gradual stabilisation of European mobile

termination regimes; and operating cost optimisation and cost savings achieved through cell site and network sharing, network

maintenances and other outsourcing programmes, stringent cost controls, and effective working capital management. Improving

profitability is also expected to continue based on the economies of scale effect that is able to be achieved in customer operation and

network operations functions. Also factored into the forecasts are the potential dilutive effect of attracting lower value customer when

growing the customer base and the expected effect of market competition and development.

Initial investments in the upfront licence payments and the network infrastructure which has been built for scale have been significant.

However, as the network capital expenditures are forecast to decline progressively as a percentage of revenues as the network

construction phase nears completion and a lower “maintenance” level of capital expenditure is required for ongoing operation. Average

customer acquisition costs in the start-up years of operation have also been significant, but have declined due to the improved market

acceptance of the 3G and LTE technologies and on the widening availability, improving attractiveness and comparatively lower unit cost

of smartphones, and the Group's transition to a non-subsidised handset business model.

For the purposes of impairment tests, the recoverable amount of the Group's telecommunications licences, network assets and

goodwill is determined based on value in use calculations. The value in use calculations primarily use cash flow projections based on

financial budgets approved by management and estimated terminal value at the end of the approved financial budgets period. There are

a number of assumptions and estimates involved for the preparation of cash flow projections for the period covered by the approved

budget and the estimated terminal value. Key assumptions include the expected growth in revenues and gross margin, timing of future

capital expenditures, growth rates and selection of discount rates and the earnings multiple that can be realised for the estimated terminal

value. The Group prepared the financial budgets reflecting current and prior year performances and market development expectations.

Projections in excess of the approved financial budgets period are used to take into account telecommunications spectrum licence

periods, increasing market share and growth momentum. For the purpose of the impairment tests, a market specific growth rate of

approximately 2% was used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the approved financial budgets period. This low rate was selected

solely for the purposes of the impairment tests to arrive at a conservative projection of cash flows in excess of the approved financial

budgets period and does not reflect our expectation of the performance of these businesses nor our forecast of long term industry

growth. The discount rates for the tests were based on country specific pre-tax risk adjusted discount rates (for example, 4% and

5.3% used in the Group's 3G operations in Italy and the UK respectively). Judgement is required to determine key assumptions

adopted in the cash flow projections and changes to key assumptions can significantly affect these cash flow projections and therefore

the results of the impairment tests.

(c) Depreciation and amortisation

(i) Fixed assets

Depreciation of operating assets constitutes a substantial operating cost for the Group. The cost of fixed assets is charged as

depreciation expense over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method. The Group periodically

reviews changes in technology and industry conditions, asset retirement activity and residual values to determine adjustments to

estimated remaining useful lives and depreciation rates.

Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives. Periodic reviews could result in a change in depreciable lives and

therefore depreciation expense in future periods.

(ii) Telecommunications licences

Telecommunications licences comprise the right to use spectrum and the right to provide a telecommunications service.

Telecommunications licences that are considered to have an indefinite useful life to the Group are not amortised. Telecommunications

licences with finite useful lives are amortised on a straight-line basis from the date of first commercial usage of the related spectrum

over the remaining expected licence periods and are stated net of accumulated amortisation. Licences are reviewed for impairment

annually.

On the basis of confirmation from the Ministry of the Italian Government that the Group’s 3G licence term in Italy can be

continuously extended for a period equivalent to the previous term, effectively making it a perpetual licence, and the enactment

by the UK Houses of Parliament of a statutory instrument, which inter alia changes the life of the Group’s 3G licence to indefinite,

the Group’s 3G licences in Italy and in the UK are considered to have an indefinite useful life.



Page 19 of 81


(c) Depreciation and amortisation (continued)

(ii) Telecommunications licences (continued)

Judgement is required to determine the useful lives of the Group's telecommunications licences. The actual economic lives of the

Group's telecommunications spectrum licences may differ from the current contracted or expected licence periods, which could

impact the amount of amortisation expense charged to the income statement. In addition, governments from time to time revise the

terms of licences to change, amongst other terms, the contracted or expected licence period, which could also impact the amount

of amortisation expense charged to the income statement.

(iii) Telecommunications customer acquisition costs

Telecommunications customer acquisition costs (“CACs”) comprise the net costs to acquire and retain mobile telecommunications

customers, which are primarily 3G and LTE customers. All telecommunications CACs are expensed and recognised in the income


Judgement is required to determine the most appropriate accounting policy for telecommunications CACs. Any change in the

accounting policy to capitalise these costs will impact the charge to the income statement as these costs will be capitalised and

amortised over the contract periods.

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for

non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Group's previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the net

identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is recorded as a separate asset or, as applicable, included within

investments in associated companies and joint ventures. Goodwill is also subject to the impairment test described above.

(e) Investment properties valuation

Investment properties are interests in land and buildings that are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Such properties

are carried in the statement of financial position at their fair value as determined by professional valuation. In determining the fair value

of the investment properties, the valuers use assumptions and estimates that reflect, amongst other things, comparable market

transactions, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases in the light of current market

conditions. Judgement is required to determine the principal valuation assumptions to determine the fair value of the investment

properties. Changes in fair values of investment properties are recorded in the income statement.

(f) Tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision

for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary

course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will

be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were previously recorded, such differences will

impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities

and their carrying values in the accounts. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits

will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses and tax credits

can be utilised, based on all available evidence. Recognition primarily involves judgement regarding the future financial performance

of the particular legal entity or tax group. A variety of other factors are also evaluated in considering whether there is convincing

evidence that it is probable that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will ultimately be realised, such as the existence of

taxable temporary differences, group relief, tax planning strategies and the periods in which estimated tax losses can be utilised. The

carrying amount of deferred tax assets and related financial models and budgets are reviewed at the end of the reporting period and to

the extent that there is insufficient convincing evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available within the utilisation periods to

allow utilisation of the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unutilised losses and tax credits, the asset balance

will be reduced and charged to the income statement.



Page 20 of 81


(f) Tax (continued)

The 3G businesses commenced commercial operations from 2003 and some of these businesses are incurring losses as the businesses

grow to operating scale. Deferred tax assets have been recognised for the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of

unutilised losses and tax credits relating to the Group’s 3G operation in the UK where, amongst other things, tax losses can be

carried forward indefinitely and there is availability of group relief for tax purposes that can be utilised to offset taxable profits

generated by the Group’s other operations in the UK. In addition, deferred tax assets have been recognised for the carry forward

amount of unused tax losses relating to the Group’s 3G operations in Ireland, Austria, Sweden and Denmark, which have become

profitable and are expected to have sufficient taxable profits available in the foreseeable future to utilise their unused tax losses. The

ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets recognised for 3 UK, 3 Ireland, 3 Austria, 3 Sweden and 3 Denmark depends principally on

these businesses maintaining profitability and generating sufficient taxable profits to utilise the underlying unused tax losses. It may be

necessary for some or all of the deferred tax assets recognised to be reduced and charged to the income statement if there is a significant

adverse change in the projected performance and resulting projected taxable profits of these businesses. Judgement is required to

determine key assumptions adopted in the taxable profit and loss projections and changes to key assumptions used can significantly

affect these taxable profit and loss projections.

(g) Pension costs

The Group operates several defined benefit plans. Pension costs for defined benefit plans are assessed using the projected unit credit

method in accordance with HKAS 19, Employee Benefits. Under this method, the cost of providing pensions is charged to the income

statement so as to spread the regular cost over the future service lives of employees in accordance with the advice of the actuaries who

carry out a full valuation of the plans. The pension obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows

using interest rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period based on government agency or high

quality corporate bonds with currency and term similar to the estimated term of benefit obligations. Remeasurements arising from

defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the year in which they occur and reflected immediately in

retained profit. Remeasurements comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net

interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)) and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net

interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)).

Management appointed actuaries to carry out a full valuation of these pension plans to determine the pension obligations that are

required to be disclosed and accounted for in the accounts in accordance with the HKFRS requirements.

The actuaries use assumptions and estimates in determining the fair value of the defined benefit plans and evaluate and update these

assumptions on an annual basis. Judgement is required to determine the principal actuarial assumptions to determine the present value

of defined benefit obligations and service costs. Changes to the principal actuarial assumptions can significantly affect the present

value of plan obligations and service costs in future periods.

(h) Sale and leaseback transactions

The Group classifies leases into finance leases or operating leases in accordance with the accounting policies stated in note 2(x).

Determining whether a lease transaction is a finance lease or an operating lease is a complex issue and requires substantial judgement

as to whether the lease agreement transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to or from the Group. Careful and

considered judgement is required on various complex aspects that include, but are not limited to, the fair value of the leased asset, the

economic life of the leased asset, whether renewal options are included in the lease term and determining an appropriate discount rate

to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Classification as a finance lease or operating lease determines whether the leased asset is capitalised and recognised on the statement

of financial position as set out in note 2(x). In sale and leaseback transactions, the classification of the leaseback arrangements as

described above determines how the gain or loss on the sale transaction is recognised. It is either deferred and amortised (finance lease)

or recognised in the income statement immediately (operating lease).

(i) Allocation of revenue for bundled telecommunications transactions with customers

The Group has bundled transactions under contract with customers including sales of both services and hardware (for example handsets).

The amount of revenue recognised upon the sale of hardware is determined by considering the estimated fair values of each of the service

element and hardware element of the contract. Significant judgement is required in assessing fair values of both of these elements by

considering inter alia, standalone selling price and other observable market data. Changes in the estimated fair values may cause the

revenue recognised for sales of services and hardware to change individually but not the total bundled revenue from a specific customer

throughout its contract term. The Group periodically re-assesses the fair value of the elements as a result of changes in market conditions.

(a) Fair value measurements

The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for investment properties located in Hong Kong and outside Hong Kong. These

fair value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used.

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total


At 31 December 2014

Hong Kong - 304 65,120 65,424

Outside Hong Kong - - 1,804 1,804

- 268 42,186 42,454

There were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into / out of fair

value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Investment properties have been fair valued as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited,

professional valuers. The fair value of the investment properties was determined based on, amongst other things, comparable market

transactions, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases in the light of current

market conditions.

The valuations are derived using the income capitalisation method. This method is based on the capitalisation of net income with due

allowance for outgoings and reversionary income potential by adopting appropriate capitalisation rates, which are derived from analysis

of sale transactions and valuers' interpretation of prevailing investor requirements or expectations. The prevailing market rents adopted

in the valuation are referenced to valuers' view of recent lettings, within the subject properties and other comparable properties.

The brand names as at 31 December 2014 primarily resulted from the acquisitions of Marionnaud and The Perfume Shop in 2005 and are

assessed to have indefinite useful lives. The factors considered in the assessment of the useful lives include analysis of market and

competitive trends, product life cycles, brand extension opportunities and management's long term strategic development.

The value of brand names acquired in 2005 was determined by an external valuer based on a royalty relief methodology, a commonly applied

approach to valuing brand names, which was completed in December 2005. Brand names were tested for impairment as at 31 December 2014

and 31 December 2013 and the results of the tests indicated no impairment charge was necessary.

Other rights, which include rights of use of telecommunications network infrastructure sites of HK$6,942 million (2013 - HK$8,293 million),

operating and service content rights of HK$4,517 million (2013 - HK$5,018 million), resource consents and customer lists of HK$2,813 million

(2013 - HK$3,315 million) are amortised over their finite useful lives.

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions and significant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision

for income taxes. To the extent that dividends distributed from investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint

ventures are expected to result in additional taxes, appropriate amounts have been provided for. No deferred tax has been provided for the

temporary differences arising from undistributed profits of these companies to the extent that the undistributed profits are considered

permanently employed in their businesses and it is probable that such temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off and when the deferred income taxes relate

to the same fiscal authority. The amounts shown in the consolidated statement of financial position are determined after appropriate offset.

During the year, deferred tax assets of HK$2,134 million (2013 - HK$1,586 million) have been recognised for the losses of 3 Group Europe.

At 31 December 2014, the Group has recognised accumulated deferred tax assets amounting to HK$19,203 million (2013 -

HK$18,548 million) of which HK$17,785 million (2013 - HK$17,265 million) relates to 3 Group Europe.

Note 3(f) contains information about the estimates, assumptions and judgements relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets for unused

tax losses carried forward.

21 Deferred tax (continued)

The Group has not recognised deferred tax assets of HK$22,525 million at 31 December 2014 (2013 - HK$22,977 million) in respect of

unutilised tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences totalling HK$94,257 million (2013 - HK$96,430 million). These

unutilised tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences can be carried forward against future taxable income. Of this amount,

HK$67,210 million (2013 - HK$73,534 million) can be carried forward indefinitely and the balances expire in the following years:

as at 31 December 2014 is 1.7% (2013 - 1.9%).

Unlisted equity securities where there is a history of dividends are carried at fair value based on the discounted present value of expected

future dividends. The value of the remaining unlisted equity securities are not significant to the Group.

balance of US$25 million held as at 31 December 2014 will mature in 2019.

The fair value of the available-for-sale investments and financial assets designated as "at fair value through profit or loss" are based on

quoted market prices. The market value of the liquid funds and other listed investments excluding long term deposits at 31 December 2014

was HK$15,141 million (2013 - HK$17,100 million).

Loans and receivables, represent long term deposits, are carried at amortised cost, which approximates their fair value as the deposits carry

floating interest rates and are repriced every three months based on the prevailing market interest rates. The weighted average effective

interest rate on long term deposits as at 31 December 2013 was 2.1%.

Trade and other receivables are stated at the expected recoverable amount, net of any estimated impairment losses for bad debts where it is

deemed that a receivable may not be fully recoverable. The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value.

Trade receivables exposures are managed locally in the operating units where they arise and credit limits are set as deemed appropriate for

the customer. The Group has established credit policies for customers in each of its core businesses. The average credit period granted for

trade receivables ranges from 30 to 45 days. As stated above trade receivables which are past due at the end of the reporting period are

stated at the expected recoverable amount, net of provision for estimated impairment losses for bad debts. Given the profile of our

customers and the Group's different types of businesses, the Group generally does not hold collateral over these balances.

The Group's five largest customers contributed less than 4% of the Group's turnover for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013.

28 Bank and other debts (continued)

Derivative financial instruments are utilised by the Group in the management of its foreign currency and interest rate exposures.

The Group’s policy is not to utilise derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Group has entered into

interest rate swap agreements with banks and other financial institutions mainly to swap fixed interest rate borrowings to floating interest

rate borrowings to manage the fixed and floating interest rate mix of the Group's total debt portfolio. At 31 December 2014, the notional

amount of the outstanding interest rate swap agreements with financial institutions amounted to HK$64,793 million (2013 -

HK$62,708 million).

In addition, interest rate swap agreements with notional amount of HK$5,995 million (2013 - HK$6,540 million) was entered to swap floating

interest rate borrowings to fixed interest rate borrowings to mainly mitigate interest rate exposures to certain infrastructure project related

borrowings.

As at 31 December 2014, the Group had currency swap arrangements with banks to swap US dollar principal amount of borrowings

equivalent to HK$16,968 million (2013 - HK$28,593 million) to Hong Kong dollar principal amount of borrowings to match currency

exposures of the underlying businesses.

final salary pension plans or non-contributory guaranteed return defined contribution plans. No other post-retirement benefits are

provided.

The Group's major plans were valued by Towers Watson, qualified actuaries as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 using the

projected unit credit method to account for the Group's pension accounting costs.

The principal actuarial assumptions used for the purpose of the actuarial valuation were as follows:

2014 2013

Discount rates 0.7%-3.8% 1.5%-4.7%

Future salary increases 0.5%-4.0% 0.5%-4.0%

Interest credited on two principal plans in Hong Kong 5.0%-6.0% 5.0%-6.0%

The amount recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position is determined as follows:

2014 2013


Present value of defined benefit obligations 18,883 17,391

There is no immediate requirement for the Group to fund the deficit between the fair value of defined benefit plan assets and the

present value of the defined benefit plan obligations disclosed as at 31 December 2014. Contributions to fund the obligations are

based upon the recommendations of independent qualified actuaries for each of the Group's pension plans to fully fund the relevant

schemes on an ongoing basis. The realisation of the deficit is contingent upon the realisation of the actuarial assumptions made which

is dependent upon a number of factors including the market performance of plan assets. Funding requirements of the Group's major

defined benefit plans are detailed below.

The Group operates two principal plans in Hong Kong. One plan, which has been closed to new entrants since 1994, provides benefits

based on the greater of the aggregate of the employee and employer vested contributions plus a minimum interest thereon of 6% per

annum, and a benefit derived by a formula based on the final salary and years of service. A formal independent actuarial valuation,

undertaken for funding purposes under the provision of Hong Kong's Occupational Retirement Schemes Ordinance ("ORSO"), at

31 July 2013 reported a funding level of 119% of the accrued actuarial liabilities on an ongoing basis. The valuation used the attained

age valuation method and the main assumptions in the valuation are an investment return of 6% per annum and salary increases of

4% per annum. The valuation was performed by Tian Keat Aun, a Fellow of The Institute of Actuaries, of Towers Watson Hong Kong

Limited. The second plan provides benefits equal to the employer vested contributions plus a minimum interest thereon of 5% per

annum. As at 31 December 2014, vested benefits under this plan are fully funded in accordance with the ORSO funding requirements.

During the year, forfeited contributions totalling HK$24 million (2013 - HK$19 million) were used to reduce the current year's level of

contributions and HK$1 million was available at 31 December 2014 (2013 - HK$2 million) to reduce future years' contributions.

The Group operates three contributory defined benefit plans in the United Kingdom for its ports division, of which the Port of

Felixstowe Pension Plan is the principal plan. The plans are all final salary in nature and were closed to new entrants in June 2003. On

the assumptions adopted at the last formal actuarial valuation using the projected unit method at 31 December 2012, the ratio of assets to

liabilities for the Felixstowe Scheme was 78%. Contributions to fund the deficit were increased and the shortfall was expected to be

eliminated by June 2023. The main assumptions in the valuation are an investment return of (i) 5.90% per annum (pre-retirement) ,

(ii) 5.30% per annum and 3.25% per annum (post-retirement for non-pensioners and pensioners respectively), pensionable salary

increases of 2.75% per annum and pension increases for pensioners of 2.65% per annum (for service before 6 April 1997), 2.3% per

annum (for service between 6 April 1997 and 5 April 2005) and 1.70% per annum (for service after 5 April 2005). The valuation was

performed by Lloyd Cleaver, a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries, of Towers Watson Limited.

The Group's defined benefit pension plans for its ports and retail operations in the Netherlands are guaranteed contracts undertaken

by insurance companies to provide defined benefit pensions in return for actuarially agreed contributions. The risk of providing past

pension benefits is underwritten by the insurance companies. The Group does not carry funding risk relating to past service. The

funding rate to provide current year benefits varies in accordance with annual actuarial calculations.

The Group operates a defined benefit pension plan for part of its retail operation in the United Kingdom. It was assumed on acquisition

of a subsidiary company in 2002. It is not open to new entrants. The latest formal valuation for funding purposes was carried out at

31 March 2012. This allowed for the cessation of accrual of future defined benefits for all active members on 28 February 2010, from

which date final salary linkage was also severed. On the assumptions adopted at the valuation using the projected unit method, the

ratio of actual asset value to the target asset value being funded for past service benefits was 75%. The sponsoring employer has

made additional cash contributions totalling £3.75 million in 2014 (2013 - £4 million), and will make further additional contributions of

£3.7 million per annum from 1 January 2015 to 30 September 2016 towards the shortfall being corrected by 30 September 2016, assuming

the market conditions as at 31 March 2012 remain unchanged. The main assumptions in the valuation are an investment return of 4.1%

to 5.7% per annum and pensionable salary increases of 2.0% to 3.2% per annum. The valuation was performed by David Lindsay,

a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, of Aon Hewitt Limited.

(i) Plan assets

Fair value of the plan assets are analysed as follows:

2014 2013


Equity instruments

Consumer markets and manufacturing 9% 10%

Energy and utilities 3% 4%

Financial institutions and insurance 8% 8%

Telecommunications and information technology 4% 4%

Units trust and equity instrument funds 4% 10%

Others 10% 11%

38% 47%

Debt instruments

US Treasury notes 1% 1%

Government and government guaranteed notes 8% 8%

Others 6% 6%

18% 18%

Qualifying insurance policies 32% 28%

Properties 3% 3%

Other assets 9% 4%

100% 100%

The debt instruments are analysed by issuers' credit rating as follows:

2014 2013


Aaa/AAA 50% 44%

Aa1/AA+ 4% 5%

Aa2/AA 6% 6%

Other investment grades 18% 18%

No investment grades 5% 13%

100% 100%

The fair value of the above equity instruments and debt instruments are determined based on quoted market prices.

Fair value of plan assets of HK$15,801 million (2013 - HK$14,300 million) includes investments in the Company's shares with a fair

value of HK$75 million (2013 - HK$97 million).

The long term strategic asset allocations of the plans are set and reviewed from time to time by the plans' trustees taking into account

the membership and liability profile, the liquidity requirements of the plans.



Page 55 of 81



(ii) Defined benefit obligation

The average duration of the defined benefit obligation as at 31 December 2014 is 17 years (2013 - 17 years).

The Group expects to make contributions of HK$682 million (2013 - HK$639 million) to the defined benefit plans during the next year.

HKAS 19 "Employee Benefits" requires disclosure of a sensitivity analysis for the significant actuarial assumptions, used to determine

the present value of the defined benefit obligations, that shows the effects of a hypothetical change in the relevant actuarial

assumption at the end of the reporting period on defined benefit obligations.

The effect that is disclosed in the following assumes that (a) a hypothetical change of the relevant actuarial assumption had occurred

at the end of the reporting period and had applied to the relevant actuarial assumption in existence on that date; and (b) the sensitivity

analysis for each type of actuarial assumption does not reflect inter-dependencies between different assumptions.

The preparation and presentation of the sensitivity analysis for significant actuarial assumptions is solely for compliance with HKAS 19

disclosure requirements in respect of defined benefit obligations. The sensitivity analysis measures changes in the defined benefit

obligations from hypothetical instantaneous changes in one actuarial assumption (e.g. discount rate or future salary increase), the

amount so generated from the sensitivity analysis are "what-if" forward-looking estimates. The sensitivity analyses are for illustration

purposes only and it should be noted that in practice actuarial assumptions rarely change in isolation. Actual results in the future may

differ materially from the sensitivity analyses due to developments in the markets which may cause fluctuations in actuarial assumptions

(e.g. discount rate or future salary increase) to vary and therefore it is important to note that the hypothetical amounts so generated

do not present an projection of likely future events and profits or losses.

If the discount rate is 0.25% higher or lower, the defined benefit obligation would decrease by 3.9% or increase by 4.1% respectively

(2013 - decrease by 3.1% or increase by 3.2% respectively).

If the future salary increase is 0.25% higher or lower, the defined benefit obligation would increase by 0.35% or decrease by 0.34%

respectively. (2013 - increase by 0.3% or decrease by 0.4% respectively).

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated

using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined

benefit obligation liability recognised in the statement of financial position.

(b) Defined contribution plans

The Group's cost in respect of defined contribution plans for the year amounted to HK$1,221 million (2013 - HK$1,134 million) which

has been charged to the profit or loss for the year. Forfeited contributions of HK$1 million (2013 - nil) were used to reduce the current

year's level of contributions and forfeited contribution of HK$2 million was available at 31 December 2014 (2013 - HK$2 million) to

reduce future years' contributions.

(i) Under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), which commenced operation on 3 March 2014, the concept of authorised

share capital no longer exists. As the Company has no cumulative redeemable participating preference shares in issue at the time

of transition to Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), the cumulative redeemable participating preference shares are not

preserved as part of the transition to the new regime.

(ii) In accordance with section 135 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), the Company's shares no longer have a par

or nominal value with effect from 3 March 2014. There is no impact on the number of shares in issue or the relative entitlement

of any of the members as a result of this transition.

(iii) In accordance with the transitional provisions set out in section 37 of Schedule 11 to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance

(Cap. 622), on 3 March 2014, the amounts standing to the credit of the share premium account and capital redemption reserve

created under the sections 48B and 49H of the predecessor Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) have become part of the

Company's share capital.

(b) Perpetual capital securities

In October 2010, May 2012 and May 2013, wholly owned subsidiary companies of the Group issued perpetual capital securities with

nominal amount of US$2,000 million (approximately HK$15,600 million), US$1,000 million (approximately HK$7,800 million) and

€1,750 million (approximately HK$17,879 million) respectively for cash. These securities are perpetual, subordinated and the coupon

payment is optional in nature. Therefore, perpetual capital securities are classified as equity instruments and recorded in equity in the

consolidated statement of financial position.

During the year ended 31 December 2014, the Group had repurchased US$75 million (approximately HK$587 million) (2013 -

US$217 million, approximately HK$1,692 million) nominal amount of perpetual capital securities that were originally issued in

October 2010.

32 Share capital and capital management (continued)

(c) Capital management

The Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue to provide returns for

shareholders and to support the Group’s stability and growth. The Group regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to

ensure optimal capital structure to maintain a balance between higher shareholders’ returns that might be possible with higher levels

of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure

in light of changes in economic conditions.

At 31 December 2014, total equity amounted to HK$519,062 million (2013 - HK$476,232 million), and consolidated net debt of the

Group, excluding loans from non-controlling shareholders which are viewed as quasi equity, was HK$106,408 million (2013 -

HK$121,035 million). The Group’s net debt to net total capital ratio decreased to 16.8% from 20.0% at the end of last year.

As additional information, the following table shows the net debt to net total capital ratios calculated on the basis of including loans

from non-controlling shareholders and also with the Group’s investments in its listed subsidiaries and associated companies marked

to market value at the end of the reporting period.

Net debt / Net total capital ratios(i)

at 31 December

2014 2013

A1 - excluding interest-bearing loans from non-controlling shareholders from debt 16.8% 20.0%

A2 - as in A1 above and investments in listed subsidiaries and associated companies

B1 - including interest-bearing loans from non-controlling shareholders as debt 18.0% 20.9%

B2 - as in B1 above and investments in listed subsidiaries and associated companies

marked to market value 16.9% 19.0%

(i) Net debt is defined on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Net total capital is defined as total principal amount of bank

and other debts plus total equity and loans from non-controlling shareholders net of total cash, liquid funds and other listed

investments.

On 14 July 2014, the Group has completed its acquisition of the O2 Ireland business in Ireland. As a result of the acquisition, the

Group has increased its market share of the Irish mobile telecommunications services. The Group expects synergies and other benefits

from combining the infrastructure and operations of O2 Ireland with 3 Ireland, and costs savings through economies of scale.

The following table summarises the consideration paid for O2 Ireland and other acquisitions completed in the current year, and the

the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognised at the respective acquisition date.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognised at the acquisition date fair value and are recorded at the consolidation

level. No fair value adjustments arising from acquisitions are recognised at the underlying companies’ separate financial statements.

Goodwill arising on these acquisitions is recorded at the consolidation level and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

As additional information, the amount deductible for tax purposes (i.e. tax base) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities

assumed relating to the acquisition of O2 Ireland are different from and, in general, greater than the amounts shown above.

The contribution to the Group's revenue and profit after tax from these subsidiaries acquired since the respective date of acquisition

is not material.

Acquisition related costs of approximately HK$195 million (2013 - HK$200 million) had been charged to income statement during the

year and included in the line item titled profits on disposal of investments and others.

39 Related parties transactions

Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation. Transactions between the Group and

other related parties during the year are not significant to the Group. The outstanding balances with associated companies and joint

ventures as disclosed in notes 19 and 20 are unsecured. Balances totalling HK$21,550 million (2013 - HK$20,451 million) are interest

bearing. In addition, during 2009, the Group acquired traded debt securities outside Hong Kong with a principal amount of

US$200 million notes issued by listed associated company, Husky Energy Inc and in the same year, sold certain of these notes with a

principal amount of US$97 million. As disclosed in note 23, of the principal amount held of US$103 million as at 31 December 2013,

US$78 million matured and was redeemed during the current year and the balance of US$25 million held as at 31 December 2014 will

mature in 2019.

The Group has entered into joint ventures with Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited, a substantial shareholder of the Company, to

undertake various, mainly property and infrastructure, projects. At 31 December 2014, included in associated companies and interests

in joint ventures on the statement of financial position is a total amount of HK$50,705 million (2013 - HK$38,221 million) representing

equity contributions to and the net amount due from these related entities. The Group had guaranteed bank and other borrowing

facilities of HK$4,417 million (2013 - HK$4,105 million) for the benefit of these same entities.

No transactions have been entered with the directors of the Company (being the key management personnel) during the year other

than the emoluments paid to them (being the key management personnel compensation) as disclosed in note 7.

40 Legal proceedings

As at 31 December 2014, the Group is not engaged in any material litigation or arbitration proceedings, and no material litigation or

claim is known by the Group to be pending or threatened against it.

41 Subsequent events

On 9 January 2015, Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited (“Cheung Kong”) and the Company made a joint announcement to create two

new leading Hong Kong listed companies through a business combination, reorganisation and spin-off, whereby CK Hutchison

Holdings Limited (“CKH Holdings”) will hold all the non-property businesses of the Group and Cheung Kong group, and Cheung

Kong Property Holdings Limited (“CK Property”) will hold the property businesses of both groups. Qualifying Cheung Kong and

Company shareholders will receive shares in both CKH Holdings and CK Property through a series of transactions and will cease to

be shareholders of Cheung Kong and the Company. The transactions are subject to regulatory, shareholders and other customary

approvals. It is expected that the transactions will be completed before the end of the first half of 2015. There will be no change

in business strategies or underlying operations whilst the reorganisation is being completed or following completion of the

reorganisation.

On 21 January 2015, Cheung Kong Infrastructure (“CKI”), a subsidiary company of the Group raised approximately

HK$4,600 million by issuing new shares. Following this transaction, the Group’s interest in CKI’s ordinary shares has reduced from

approximately 78.155% to 75.674%.

On 23 January 2015, the Group has agreed to enter into exclusive negotiations with Telefónica, S.A. for the potential acquisition

by the Group of Telefónica, S.A.’s UK subsidiary, O2 UK, for an indicative price in cash of £9.25 billion which would be paid at

closing and deferred upside interest sharing payments of up to a further £1 billion in the aggregate payable after the cumulative

cashflow of the combined business of Hutchison 3G UK Limited and O2 UK achieves agreed financial targets. The timing and

amounts of these payments will depend on the actual cash flows of the combined business. The transaction remains subject to,

inter alia, satisfactory due diligence over O2 UK, agreement on terms and signing of definitive agreements and the obtaining of all

required corporate and regulatory approvals.

42 US dollar equivalents

Amounts in these accounts are stated in Hong Kong dollars (HK$), the currency of the place in which the Company is incorporated

and is the functional currency of the Company. The translation into US dollars of these accounts as of, and for the year ended,

31 December 2014, is for convenience only and has been made at the rate of HK$7.80 to US$1. This translation should not be

construed as a representation that the Hong Kong dollar amounts actually represented have been, or could be, converted into US

dollars at this or any other rate.

43 Approval of accounts

The accounts set out on pages 2 to 81 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2015.

45 Financial risk management

The Group’s major financial assets and financial liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, liquid funds and other listed investments and

borrowings. Details of these financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the respective notes. The Group’s treasury function

sets financial risk management policies in accordance with policies and procedures that are approved by the Executive Directors, and

which are also subject to periodic review by the Group’s internal audit function. The Group’s treasury policies are designed to mitigate the

impact of fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates on the Group’s overall financial position and to minimise the Group’s financial

risks. The Group’s treasury function operates as a centralised service for managing financial risks, including interest rate and foreign

exchange risks, and for providing cost-efficient funding to the Group and its companies. It manages the majority of the Group’s funding

needs, interest rate, foreign currency and credit risk exposures. The Group uses interest rate and foreign currency swaps and forward

contracts as appropriate for risk management purposes only, for hedging transactions and for managing the Group’s assets and liabilities.

It is the Group’s policy not to enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. It is also the Group’s policy not to invest liquidity

in financial products, including hedge funds or similar vehicles, with significant underlying leverage or derivative exposure.

(a) Cash management and funding

The Group operates a central cash management system for all of its unlisted subsidiaries. Except for listed and certain overseas entities

conducting businesses in non-HK or non-US dollar currencies, the Group generally obtains long-term financing at the Group level to

on-lend or contribute as equity to its subsidiaries and associated companies to meet their funding requirements and provide more

cost-efficient financing. These borrowings include a range of capital market issues and bank borrowings for which the proportions will

change depending upon financial market conditions and projected interest rates. The Group regularly and closely monitors its overall debt

position and reviews its funding costs and maturity profile to facilitate refinancing.

The Group continues to maintain a strong financial position. Cash, liquid funds and other listed investments ("liquid assets") amounted

to HK$140,459 million at 31 December 2014, an increase of 37% from the balance of HK$102,787 million at 31 December 2013, mainly

reflecting net cash proceeds of HK$13,853 million, after special dividend of HK$7.00 per share amounting to HK$29,843 million, from

Temasek’s acquisition of a 24.95% equity interest in A.S. Watson Holdings Limited during the year, the cash raised from debt capital

market of HK$42,030 million, the cash arising from positive funds from operations from the Group’s businesses and cash from new

borrowings, net of utilisation of cash for dividend payments to ordinary and non-controlling shareholders as well as distributions to

perpetual capital securities holders, the repayment and early repayment of certain borrowings, the acquisition of O2 Ireland in

Ireland of HK$8,325 million, purchase of additional interest of 27.51% in the AGN by listed subsidiary, CKI of HK$4,705 million, the

redemption of perpetual capital securities issued in 2012 of US$300 million (approximately HK$2,340 million) by listed subsidiary, CKI,

advances to property joint ventures, and the acquisition of fixed assets. Liquid assets were denominated as to 16% in HK dollars,

46% in US dollars, 9% in Renminbi, 15% in Euro, 6% in British Pounds and 8% in other currencies (2013 - 21% were denominated in

HK dollars, 33% in US dollars, 15% in Renminbi, 10% in Euro, 6% in British Pounds and 15% in other currencies).

Cash and cash equivalents represented 89% (2013 - 84%) of the liquid assets, US Treasury notes and listed / traded debt securities 6%

(2013 - 8%) and listed equity securities 5% (2013 - 8%).

The US Treasury notes and listed / traded debt securities, including those held under managed funds, consisted of US Treasury notes

of 46% (2013 - 26%), government and government guaranteed notes of 20% (2013 - 32%), notes issued by the Group's associated

company, Husky Energy Inc of 3% (2013 - 11%), notes issued by financial institutions of 3% (2013 - 3%), and others of 28%

(2013 - 28%). Of these US Treasury notes and listed / traded debt securities, 66% (2013 - 55%) are rated at Aaa/AAA or Aa1/AA+ with

an average maturity of 3.0 years (2013 - 3.1 years) on the overall portfolio. The Group has no exposure in mortgage-backed securities,

collateralised debt obligations or similar asset classes.

(b) Interest rate exposure

The Group manages its interest rate exposure with a focus on reducing the Group’s overall cost of debt and exposure to changes in

interest rates. When considered appropriate, the Group uses derivatives such as interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements to

manage its interest rate exposure. The Group’s main interest rate exposure relates to US dollar, British Pound, Euro and HK dollar

borrowings.

At 31 December 2014, approximately 26% (2013 - approximately 29%) of the Group’s total principal amount of bank and other debts were

at floating rates and the remaining 74% (2013 - approximately 71%) were at fixed rates. The Group has entered into various interest rate

agreements with major financial institution counterparties to swap approximately HK$64,793 million (2013 - approximately

HK$62,708 million) principal amount of fixed interest rate borrowings to effectively become floating interest rate borrowings. In addition,

HK$5,995 million (2013 - HK$6,540 million) principal amount of floating interest rate borrowings were swapped to fixed interest rate

borrowings. After taking into consideration these interest rate swaps, approximately 50% (2013 - approximately 54%) of the Group’s total

principal amount of bank and other debts were at floating rates and the remaining 50% (2013 - approximately 46%) were at fixed rates at

31 December 2014. All of the aforementioned interest rate derivatives are designated as hedges and these hedges are considered highly

effective.

45 Financial risk management (continued)

(c) Foreign currency exposure

For overseas subsidiaries, associated companies and other investments, which consist of non-HK dollar or non-US dollar assets, the Group

generally endeavours to establish a natural hedge for debt financing with an appropriate level of borrowings in those same currencies.

For overseas businesses that are in the development phase, or where borrowings in local currency are not or are no longer attractive,

the Group may not borrow in the local currency or may repay existing borrowings and monitor the development of the businesses’

cashflow and the relevant debt markets with a view to refinance these businesses with local currency borrowings in the future when

conditions are more appropriate. Exposure to movements in exchange rates for individual transactions (such as major procurement

contracts) directly related to the underlying businesses is minimised by using forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps

where active markets for the relevant currencies exist. The Group generally does not enter into foreign currency hedges in respect of its

long-term equity investments in overseas subsidiaries and associated companies. During the year, the currencies of certain countries

where the Group has overseas operations, including Euro, British Pound, the Canadian and Australian dollars as well as Renminbi in

the Mainland, fluctuated against the Hong Kong dollar. This gave rise to an unrealised loss of approximately HK$23,998 million

(2013 - HK$5,130 million) on translation of these operations’ net assets to the Group’s Hong Kong dollar reporting currency, including

the Group's share of the translation gains and losses of associated companies and joint ventures. This unrealised loss is reflected as a

movement in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity under the heading of other reserves.

At 31 December 2014, the Group had currency swap arrangements with banks to swap US dollar principal amount of borrowings

equivalent to HK$16,968 million (2013 - HK$28,593 million) to Hong Kong dollar principal amount of borrowings to match the currency

exposures of the underlying businesses. The Group’s total principal amount of bank and other debts, after the above swaps, are

denominated as follows: 41% in US dollars, 34% in Euro,13% in HK dollars, 6% in British Pounds and 6% in other currencies (2013 -

31% in US dollars, 33% in Euro, 22% in HK dollars, 7% in British Pounds and 7% in other currencies).

(d) Credit exposure

The Group’s holdings of cash, managed funds and other liquid investments, and interest rate and foreign currency swaps and forward

contracts with financial institutions expose the Group to credit risk of counterparties. The Group controls its credit risk to

non-performance by its counterparties through monitoring their equity share price movements and credit ratings as well as setting

approved counterparty credit limits that are regularly reviewed.

The Group is also exposed to counterparties credit risk from its operating activities, which is continuously monitored by the local

operational management.

(e) Market price risk

The Group’s main market price risk exposures relate to listed / traded debt and equity securities described in "liquid assets" above and

the interest rate swaps as described in "interest rate exposure" above. The Group’s holding of listed / traded debt and equity securities

represented approximately 11% (2013 - approximately 16%) of the liquid assets. The Group controls this risk through active monitoring

of price movements and changes in market conditions that may have an impact on the value of these financial assets and instruments.

(f) Market risks sensitivity analyses

For the presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities market risks (including interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk)

information, HKFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” requires disclosure of a sensitivity analysis for each type of financial market

risk that shows the effects of a hypothetical change in the relevant market risk variable to which the Group is exposed at the end of the

reporting period on profit for the year and on total equity.

The effect that is disclosed in the following sections assumes that (a) a hypothetical change of the relevant risk variable had occurred

at the end of the reporting period and had been applied to the relevant risk variable in existence on that date; and (b) the sensitivity

analysis for each type of financial market risk does not reflect inter-dependencies between risk variables, e.g. the interest rate sensitivity

analysis does not take into account of the impact of changes in interest rates would have on the relative strengthening and weakening

of the currency with other currencies.

The preparation and presentation of the sensitivity analysis on financial market risk is solely for compliance with HKFRS 7

disclosure requirements in respect of financial assets and financial liabilities. The sensitivity analysis measures changes in the fair

value and/or cash flows of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities from hypothetical instantaneous changes in one risk

variable (e.g. functional currency rate or interest rate), the amount so generated from the sensitivity analysis are "what-if"

forward-looking estimates. The sensitivity analyses are for illustration purposes only and it should be noted that in practice market

rates rarely change in isolation. Actual results in the future may differ materially from the sensitivity analyses due to developments

in the global markets which may cause fluctuations in market rates (e.g. exchange or interest rate) to vary and therefore it is

important to note that the hypothetical amounts so generated do not represent a projection of likely future events and profits or

losses.



Page 68 of 81


(f) Market risks sensitivity analyses (continued)

(i) Interest rate sensitivity analysis

Interest rate risk as defined by HKFRS 7 arises on interest-bearing financial assets and financial liabilities.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the following assumptions:

In the cases of non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities with fixed interest rates, changes in market interest rates

only affect profit for the year or total equity if these financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value.

Accordingly, all non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities with fixed interest rates that are carried at amortised

cost are excluded from the interest rate sensitivity analysis as they are not subject to interest rate risk as defined in HKFRS 7.

In the cases of derivative financial assets and financial liabilities designated as hedging instruments for hedging interest rate

risks, changes in market interest rates affect their fair value. All interest rate hedges are expected to be highly effective.

Changes in the fair value of fair value interest rate hedges and changes in the fair value of the hedged items that are attributable

to interest rate movements effectively balance out with each other in income statement in the same period. Accordingly, these

hedging instruments and hedged items are excluded from the interest rate sensitivity analysis as they are not exposed to

interest rate risk as defined in HKFRS 7. Changes in the fair value of cash flow interest rate hedges resulting from market

interest rate movements affect total equity and are therefore taken into consideration in the sensitivity analysis.

In the cases of derivative financial assets and financial liabilities that are not part of an interest rate risk hedging relationship,

changes in their fair value (arising from gain or loss from re-measurement of these interest rate derivatives to fair value) resulting

from market interest rate movements affect profit for the year and total equity, and are therefore taken into consideration in the

sensitivity analysis.

Major financial assets and financial liabilities for the purpose of the interest rate sensitivity analysis include:

• cash and cash equivalents (see note 24)

• some of the listed debt securities and managed funds (see note 23) carried at fair value that bear interest at fixed rate

• some of the listed debt securities and managed funds (see note 23) that bear interest at floating rate

• some of the bank and other debts (see note 28) that bear interest at floating rate

• interest bearing loans from non-controlling shareholders (see note 29)

Under these assumptions, the impact of a hypothetical 100 basis points increase in market interest rate at the end of the reporting

period, with all other variables held constant:

- profit for the year would decrease by HK$201 million (2013 - HK$399 million) due to increase in interest expense;

- total equity would decrease by HK$201 million (2013 - HK$399 million) due to increase in interest expense; and

- total equity would have no material impact due to change in fair value of interest rate swaps (2013 - HK$76 million).

(ii) Foreign currency exchange rate sensitivity analysis

Currency risk as defined by HKFRS 7 arises on financial assets and financial liabilities being denominated in a currency that is not

the functional currency and being of a monetary nature. Therefore, non-monetary financial assets and financial liabilities, monetary

financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in the entity’s functional currency and differences resulting from the translation

of financial statements of overseas subsidiaries into the Group’s presentation currency are therefore not taken into consideration

for the purpose of the sensitivity analysis for currency risk.

The foreign currency exchange rate sensitivity analysis is based on the following assumptions:

Major non-derivative monetary financial assets and financial liabilities are either directly denominated in the functional currency

or are transferred to the functional currency through the use of foreign currency swaps and forward currency contracts.

Exchange fluctuations of these monetary financial assets and financial liabilities therefore have no material effects on profit for

the year and total equity.



Page 69 of 81


(f) Market risks sensitivity analyses (continued)

(ii) Foreign currency exchange rate sensitivity analysis (continued)

In the cases of derivative financial assets and financial liabilities designated as hedging instruments for hedging currency risks,

changes in foreign exchange rates affect their fair value. All currency hedges are expected to be highly effective. Changes in the

fair value of foreign currency fair value hedges and changes in the fair value of the hedged items effectively balance out with

each other in income statement in the same period. As a consequence, these hedging instruments and hedged items are excluded

from the foreign currency exchange rate sensitivity analysis as they are not exposed to currency risk as defined in HKFRS 7.

Changes in the fair value of cash flow currency hedges resulting from market exchange rate movements affect total equity and

are therefore taken into consideration in the sensitivity analysis.

Major financial assets and financial liabilities for the purpose of the foreign currency exchange rate sensitivity analysis include:

• some of the cash and cash equivalents (see note 24)

• some of the liquid funds and other listed investments (see note 23)

• some of the bank and other debts (see note 28)

Under these assumptions, the impact of a hypothetical 10% weakening of HK dollar against all exchange rates at the end of the

reporting period, with all other variables held constant, on the Group’s profit for the year and total equity is set out in the table

below.

Renminbi 19 47 13 35

US dollars 992 991 986 986

Japanese Yen (199) (111) (227) (205)

(iii) Other price sensitivity analysis

Other price risk as defined by HKFRS 7 arises from changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk and

currency risk as detailed in “interest rate exposure” and “foreign currency exposure” paragraphs above) on financial assets and

financial liabilities.

The other price sensitivity analysis is based on the assumption that changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest

rate risk and currency risk) of financial assets and financial liabilities only affect profit for the year or total equity if these financial

assets and financial liabilities are measured at the fair value. Accordingly, all non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities

carried at amortised cost are excluded from the other price sensitivity analysis as they are not subject to other price risk as defined

in HKFRS 7.

Major financial assets and financial liabilities for the purpose of the other price sensitivity analysis include:

• available-for-sale investments (see note 23)

• financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (see note 23)

Under these assumptions, the impact of a hypothetical 10% increase in the market price of the Group's available-for-sale investments

and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at the end of the reporting period, with all other variables held constant:

- profit for the year would increase by HK$30 million (2013 - HK$30 million) due to increase in gains on financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss;

- total equity would increase by HK$30 million (2013 - HK$30 million) due to increase in gains on financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss; and

- total equity would increase by HK$1,484 million (2013 - HK$1,680 million) due to increase in gains on available-for-sale investments

which are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(j) Fair value measurements

(i) Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements

are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used. The different levels

are defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly

(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).

(j) Fair value measurements (continued)

(i) Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value (continued)

Fair value hierarchy (continued)

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not traded in active market is determined by using valuation techniques.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial assets and financial liabilities include discounted cash flow analysis, are used to

determine fair value for the financial assets and financial liabilities.

The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into / out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in

circumstances that caused the transfer.

Level 3 fair values

The movements of the balance of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value based on Level 3 are as follows:

2014 2013


At 1 January 2,251 2,159

Total gains (losses) recognised in

Income statement (500) 79

Other comprehensive income 23 79

Additions 105 31

Disposals (56) (100)


At 31 December 1,798 2,251

Total gains (losses) recognised in income statement relating to those financial assets and financial

liabilities held at the end of the reporting period (500) 79

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are grouped under Level 3 is determined by using valuation techniques

including discounted cash flow analysis. In determining fair value, specific valuation techniques are used with reference to inputs

such as dividend stream and other specific input relevant to those particular financial assets and financial liabilities.

Changing unobservable inputs used in Level 3 valuation to reasonable alternative assumptions would not have significant impact on

the Group's profit or loss.

(ii) Financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value but fair value disclosures are required

Except for bank and other debts as detailed in the table (i) above, the carrying amounts of the financial assets and financial liabilities

recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses the fair value measurements disclosures for bank and other debts. These fair value measurements are

categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used.



At 31 December 2014

Bank and other debts 199,308 63,604 - 262,912



At 31 December 2013

Bank and other debts 170,667 66,076 - 236,743

The fair value of the bank and other debts included in level 2 category above are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations

based upon the Group's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings with maturities consistent with those

remaining for the debt being valued.
